Cut changeover time with SMED
This week
The cameras already record every job switch on the presses where work began, and the recordings were pulled. Each matches the ERP job log to within a minute.
The cameras were already in place and the ERP already logs each job switch, so nothing had to be bought or set up.
We pulled the camera recordings of recent job switches and matched each one to the ERP job log. The recordings for presses 7 and 12 are complete and agree with the ERP.
No job switch is faster yet, and the recordings needed to time each switch are now pulled.
Since last week: Last week the presses to start on were picked, and now every job switch on them is pulled from the cameras.
Time each task in the recordings and find what can be done before the press stops.

- Week 3Work began on the presses that switch jobs most often, where faster switches free the most time.
- Week 4This reportThe cameras already record every job switch on the presses where work began, and the recordings were pulled.
- Week 5Timing each job switch showed much of it going to fetching while the press waited.
- Week 6Keeping the next job's tools on a cart beside the press made job switches much faster.
- Week 7The second press now has its tool cart, but most of its job switches had one setup person and stayed slow.
- Week 8With two setup people on every job switch, the presses where work began had their fastest week yet.
