SETUP REDUCTION Training
|
ARE YOU EXPERIENCING ANY OF THESE CHALLENGES?
|
| • |
Operating in low-volume environment with multiple products? |
| • |
Customers demanding, "Better, Faster,
Cheaper?" |
| • |
Marketplace for your product becoming more
competitive? |
| • |
Tight cash situation forcing you to cut
costs by carrying less inventory? |
| • |
Switching production from one product to
another requires a long set up to prepare equipment and workstations? |
| • |
Processes currently require large production
batches to save on setup? |
…If the answer is "Yes,"
then MMEC's Setup Reduction
training may be what you need.
PREREQUISITE: None.
However, participants may benefit more from this training after taking
the Lean Manufacturing workshop and simulation and Value Stream Mapping.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Setup reduction is a process improvement
activity targeted at reducing the amount of time and effort required
to change over production from one product to another. Setup reduction
facilitates smaller batch sizes without increased costs.
This course will teach you how to achieve quick changeover by analyzing
setup and changeover processes and then identifying waste and non-value
added activities that can be reduced or eliminated. The course will
discuss how to calculate a reduced economic order quantity based
on changeover and inventory carrying costs. Participants will become
familiar with setup reduction techniques and various tools &
equipment (carts, software, clamps, holding devices, CNC machines,
lasers) which can aid the setup reduction process. An actual equipment
changeover process will be videotaped and analyzed by participants
in an effort to apply knowledge to an actual setup reduction challenge.
LEARN HOW TO:
| • |
Respond faster to customer
needs from shortened lead times. |
| • |
Enhance customer relationships by being
more responsive to customer demand. |
| • |
Lower production costs. |
| • |
Increase production flexibility and production
capacity. |
| • |
Reduce batch sizes for reduced floor inventory
and space requirements. |
| • |
Improve quality and reduce scrap as a result
of earlier recognition of of product defects from reduced batch
sizes.
|
WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE: Manufacturing/shop
floor management/supervisors, production staff/team leaders/equipment
operators.
COURSE LENGTH & FORMAT:
4 Hours; classroom presentation and plant
floor event applying setup reduction principles and problem solving
to a video-taped or observed equipment setup operation.
For actual plant floor observation involving more than one company,
a participating manufacturer would agree to host the onsite activity.
CLASS SIZE GUIDELINES:
Public Event: 10 minimum
Private Company Event: Variable (depending on internal demand)
