Description
Quick
Changeover is one of the lean tools used to dramatically reduce
the time that it takes to changeover from one product to
another. By
implementing a Quick Changeover program the changeover downtime
can typically be reduced by 70%.
Reducing downtime increases productivity, increases
capacity, and improves customer delivery.
Quick Changeover is a major strategic initiative for
improving customer delivery performance because changeovers can
be made more frequently in lower quantities.
This more closely links customer demand with production
with an associated improvement in delivery metrics.
This workshop provides training in how to implement a
sustainable Quick Changeover program.
It covers the material in our “Quick Changeover
Implementation Guide” and provides hands-on team based
exercises.
