Why go through the entire DOs and DON'Ts again when you can save resources by only going forward with the DOs? This is called Standard Work. Standard Work is a practice emphasizing upon doing something that has been done in the past in a more organized and result-oriented way minimizing the expense of time and money. #StandardWork #GoLean

Changeover Time Changeover time is a crucial #KPI in manufacturing that directly impacts production efficiency by tracking the time it takes to transition from producing one product or task to another. The less time it takes to switch between products, the higher the production capacity, leading to increased throughput and better asset turnover. Changeover Time = Available times – production time ———————-

With Busroot you can schedule nonproductive time. But why is that important, and how does productive time versus non-productive time differ from OEE? Productive time is the amount of time that the asset (machine) is adding value versus the time that it's not adding value. If you have a 10 minute cycle time, which means the 10 minutes includes you loading the machine, running the programme and unloading the machine. That's what OEE would look at in its entirety. Is your entire cycle part to part. Whereas PT versus NPT is now looking inside that cycle and it's looking at during your loading time, the machine wasn't in use, and during your unloading time the machine wasn't in use. So that's what's called nonproductive time. The only productive time was when the machine is actually adding value. Which is very distinctly different from OEE. Productive versus nonproductive time is around making sure that your assets are being utilised as much as possible and are essentially looking to reduce your cycle time. OEE does not look to reduce your cycle time. It just looks to make sure that you achieve your cycle time. Busroot is able to monitor and provide real-time data for both OEE and productive versus nonproductive time. If you got this far, we salute you 🫡

As the cost of unplanned downtime continues to rise, taking the right steps to detect and address issues before they disrupt your production line is essential in safeguarding your business, reducing unnecessary stoppages, and increasing efficiency.   In our blog, Kate Rattigan, Senior Product Manager – Advanced Services at Domino, outlines several areas businesses should consider when building an infrastructure to meet the evolving demands of the manufacturing landscape and achieve zero machine downtime.   #DominoDoMore #Downtime #Uptime #Manufacturing #Productivity

Quick Changeover 🔄 https://lnkd.in/eebDmnr Are you still grappling with inefficiencies during changeover processes? The key to unlocking productivity might just be a minute away! 🚀 SMED, or Single-Minute Exchange of Die, is a revolutionary concept that shifts the paradigm from conventional, time-consuming changeovers to swift and streamlined transitions. Common changeover problems often involve unnecessary movement, excessive adjustments, and a blur of internal activities that bleed into external ones, leading to waste. Identifying these areas is the first step to transformation. By categorizing activities into internal (performed when the equipment is stopped) and external (performed while the equipment is running), we can start to chip away at the monolith of wasted time. Here's a streamlined approach to applying SMED in your operations: 🔍 Define Your Changeover: Understand what you’re working with. Every second count, and every action should have purpose. 📊 Study Current State: Analyze meticulously. When you measure, you can manage. 🚫 Separate & Eliminate: Discern between internal and external activities, then cut the slack. 🔄 Swap Internal for External: Shift as many activities as you can to be done concurrently with operations. 🔧 Refine Continuously: Make it better, then make it even better. The journey towards lean is never over. Embrace this five-step path to minimize waste and maximize efficiency. It's not just about speeding up; it's about smartening up your processes. #SMED #LeanManufacturing #ContinuousImprovement #Efficiency #Maintenance #ProcessOptimization #Changeover #ManufacturingExcellence #OperationalExcellence Source: Nilson Rodrigues da Silva

In the dynamic world of Lean production, the Quick Changeover (or Single Minute Exchange of Die - SMED) stands out as a game-changer. This powerful tool is designed to drastically reduce the time it takes to switch from producing one part or product to another. By aiming to reduce changeover times from hours to mere minutes, SMED not only slashes costs and improves cycle time but also significantly enhances process flexibility. The original goal was to get changeover times down to single digits – a mission that revolutionized the concept of setup reduction. Adopting Quick Changeovers can unlock numerous benefits for your operations: 🔹 Cost Reduction 🔹 Enhanced Cycle Time 🔹 Increased Process Flexibility Let's leverage the principles of SMED to drive efficiency and operational excellence! #ExcellenceWithMohan
