ABSTRACT Major problem faced by industries now-a-days is the production cost which should be less to compete with other industries. One of the ways to reduce the production cost is to reduce the Setup time. The method mostly used for reduction of setup time is SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die). This paper presents the review of SMED technique with steps to implement the method properly. Each type of industry can apply the SMED system to reduce their setup time. It is normally possible to reduce the setup time through better teamwork and good planning. SMED is the approach to increase the output and compensate the production cost. 1. INTRODUCTION To reduce the overall cost of the product one can reduce the cycle time of the product and the second thing is setup time of the product. Moreover, if the company is providing multiple products then the cost of setup will be more. “Setup time” can be defined as amount of time taken to change from the last part of a production lot to the …show more content…
METHODOLOGY The SMED system is a theory and set of techniques that make it possible to perform equipment setup and changeover operations in fewer than 10 min. SMED helps in improving setup process and provide a setup time reduction up to 90% with moderate investments. Shingo divides the setup operation into two parts: [6] Internal setup: The setup operation that can be done only when the machine is not working (attaching or removing the dies External setup: The setup operation that can be done when the machine is in operating condition. These operations can be performed either before or after the machine is shut down. For example getting the equipment ready for the setup operation before the machine is shut down. [6] The essence of the SMED system is to convert as many changeover steps as possible to “external” (performed while the equipment is running), and to simplify and streamline the remaining steps. 2.1 IMPLEMENTATION OF SMED Stage 1-Setup Process
The proposed solutions will eliminate the problems and maintenance issues cause by the lack of military and civilian maintenance personnel. These proven solutions will help other units that deployed to facilitate phase maintenance with ease and aligns with the P4T3 process.
Other than this there are other features like slow start, the fast re transmission and rapid recovery also discussed in the Lab. Slow start makes
Act - In this phase ISMS improvements are implemented. Continuous monitoring of the process will ensure process improvement.
Leading pointer: This strategy ties the normal part needs to an alternate foreseen movement, for example, machine introduces or machine evacuations.
Based on future supplier contracts, shortening lead time for delivery of parts and materials establishing leaner processes, namely addressing wastes identified through implementing a Just-In-Time (JIT) system. A centralized wharehouse system, co-located near the manufacturing plant will reduce shipping and transportation costs or look for larger space with warehousing capacity. Savings, significant enough will be a factor if space with warehousing falls within the
This stage is important and it is mostly overlooked or left out in the digital preparation process or procedure. In this stage readiness comprises of suitable training, consistent testing and verification of software and equipment, understanding of rules of the court of law, dealing with unforeseen issues and making sure that the on-site acquisition kit is in proper working order.
...takes to set up information in the system. The level of understanding would improve through partaking or getting involved and henceforth could be adapted easily. All the bits and pieces of the project would rapidly increase or grow as per the workflow process. At the end, the overall CPOE system should be able to compare the manual method with the new electronic system and tell which is best and accurate to use and also tell how much time and money will be saved when using either system. At the end of the project the team should be able to come together and discuss whether or not the project met all of the company’s needs such as if it is reliable, efficient, safe and secure and also does it save time and money. Then, if the system has more advantages than disadvantages and it is worth all of the team’s time and effort it would be best to continue with the project.
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) means systematic caring, inspecting, and servicing of military equipment to keep it in good condition and to prevent breakdowns. The operator of the vehicle mission is to be sure to perform PMCS each time he/she operate the vehicle. Always do the PMCS in the same order, so it gets to be a habit. Once you've had some practice, you will quickly spot anything wrong.
One set up operator can get hold of one place at a time and during waiting time, other lose the considerable amount of production. Subsequently, they framed a goal inclined to set up the sequence of work to get the maximum output by utilizing the capacity of the plant. The third step takes into consideration the installation of planning boards. These boards, lists the standard methods for each procedure, work sequence to reflect the order in which the process runs, and standard cycle time to complete a process. Moreover, these boards not only provides the information about the workers in the process but also identify the areas of improvements of the process. Moreover, works as the chief statistics for workers since it helps them to have a better and clear understanding of the process for a flawless vision of the further scope of improvements. On the contrary in another part of the same plant, they found a number of machines seeking attention at the same time. Automation is not always automatic. It requires humanized automation (Jidoka). The machines read the signal of attention by Andon light and need an operator to check the workflow consisting of a warning by each machine. Irrespective of the machine operating
Reducing risk ; reducing the quantity of manufactured so that reducing burden of stock and burden of frequent discount sales
The basic premise for JIT is fairly simple: a company only produces an item when there is a need, or just-in-time for a company or individual to purchase it (Manoocherhi, 1988). The theory of JIT also accepts that there may be a need for an item at another work station and this would also create the need for production. Rather than utilizing the common practice of mass production and attempting to sell and distribute the products after they are created, JIT waits until there is a defined need that must be met. By doing this, JIT systems allow companies to decrease the level of production, decrease the necessary manpower hours utilized in mass production modes of supply, and eliminates the waste inherent in over-production. These techniques are especially effective for small companies, who are far less able to absorb the impact of unsold products. JIT has been shown to significantly impact reductions in overhead costs that reduce re-investments, and encourage stabilizing business practices(Manoocherhi, 1988).
The modem assembly line pours out finished products faster than Taylor could ever have imagined. This production "miracle" is just one legacy of scientific management. In addition, its efficiency techniques have been applied to many tasks in non-industrial organizations, ranging from fast-food service to the training of surgeons.
Preventive maintenance can be defined as an activity performed on a certain schedule which is intended to prevent breakdowns or deterioration. These activities can include regular inspection along with solving any discovered problems or situations and regularly scheduled parts changes. Preventive maintenance involves the scheduled adjustment, inspection, replacement of wearable parts, calibrations, basic cleaning and lubrication of equipment or other recommendation made by the equipment manufacturer. These activities can help increase the equipment functional life and help decrease facilities deterioration. No equipment should, No equipment should reach the breaking point [1].

The second way is to achieve low direct and indirect operating costs is gained by offering high volumes of standard products and offering basic no-frills products. Production costs are kept low by using less parts and using standard components. Limiting the number of models produced to ensure larger producti...
