In today's manufacturing environment customers are demanding lower order quantities and rapid delivery time. This puts a real constraint on a business and creates idle time that is wasted. To minimize waste, businesses need to move quickly from one product, one order, or one service to the next. This is accomplished through a rapid changeover capability that was developed by the Japanese as part of the lean tool set. 

We have a packaged product for quick change that we offer to our customers. We find this is a good program that achieves results. However, sometimes our customers want less support and more of a focus on coaching. So, we can modify this program to meet your needs. Our standard Quick Changeover Project is implemented in your facility and consists of the following:

• 2 days of training spread over the implementation

• 18 days on-site implementing quick change

• Team facilitation

• Analysis of the current state

• Determining where improvements are to be made

• Assistance in the implementation

• Sustaining the gain

During this project, which generally takes about 4 months to completion, we implement the three key elements of quick changeover:

• Separating internal and external setup

• Converting internal setup to external setup

• Streamlining all aspects of the setup operation

Manufacturing Engineering, Inc. has a proven track record of successful Quick Change program implementation in a variety of manufacturing environments. Let us help to improve your customer responsiveness, reduce downtime, and increase capacity by implementing a customized Quick Change program in your company.              

We would like to discuss your quick change needs. If there is continued interest after further discussion, we will provide a proposal that is geared to your specific needs. Please fill out the Quick Change Request  so that we can contact you and discuss your needs.
