The setup and adjustment improvement manual


1. The necessity of the time reduction by the setup and adjustment

 There are extremely many lines by which the product changes a kind in the manufacturing line.The loss of the setup and adjustment lot stock and the down time is making productivity decline for its purpose.
In addition to the improvement of merely the facility overall efficiency of the improvement result of the time reduction by the setup and adjustment It reduces lot stock by doing a setup and adjustment, being small and the production lead time can be reduced. That is, the whole production system becomes flexible.
Also, the improvement contents of the setup and adjustment are reflected in the design of the facilities to plan to do next as the MP information.


2. The classification of the setup and adjustment exchange


 It is classified as follows by the manufacturing process.
@ The exchange type of the mold 
・ The stamping, the resin formation, the casting, the die cast and the hammering-out and so on
A The exchange type which is cutting tools and Jig
・ The machine manufacture, the weld and the assembly and so on
B The control program change type
・ The robot painting ・ The automatic assembly ・ The electron element mounting machineand so on
The exchange of the conveyance nail and the product supply forwarding part of the product and so on accompany in the case of either.

3. The viewpoint of the setup and adjustment abridgment improvement

 When roughly dividing setup and adjustment work, it is divided into "setup and adjustment's working outside" and "the inside setup and adjustment work".Moreover, "the inside setup and adjustment" is classified into "the preparation work", "the exchange work" and "the preparation quality confirmation work".
The viewpoint of each work improvement is as follows.

The improvement viewpoint of "the preparation work"
@ Making a setup and adjustment out of the preparation
A It specializes a tool and then it fits up the tool on the work position.

The improvement viewpoint of "the exchange work"
B The one touch, the quickstep changing, it makes fastening-up a less of the bolt.
C The abridgment of the movement walking distance and the approaching by it
D The same time work

The improvement viewpoint of "the preparation quality confirmation work"
E It loses an adjustment (Bumping in the block from the graduation adjusting).
F It fixes a positioning basis
G Doing one becoming of the article of good quality
 The factor analysis implementation with the worse of one(It analyzes why why.The PM analysis

The viewpoint of the common improvement
H The safe-ization of the work
I The leveling of the work procedure

4. The way of implementing setup and adjustment improvement

 The procedure of the concrete setup and adjustment improvement grapples with the following improvement step. Then, it always makes "the exhibition setup and adjustment" basic.
This "the exhibition setup and adjustment" does a setup and adjustment by the operator who was most mastered in a lot of observers Therefore, it lets out an improvement item from the viewpoint of above-mentioned improvement, and it shares and it implements improvement It repeats this "the exhibition setup and adjustment" many time and it piles further improvement.
Next, it trains to standardize a work procedure after this improvement and to be made of the time of the setup and adjustment that the other operator, too, is the same and it makes "the time of the exhibition setup and adjustment"="generally, are the time of the setup and adjustment".


The way of implementing "the exhibition setup and adjustment"
 The exhibition setup and adjustment is the purpose to do the present situation grasping of the setup and adjustment work and the finding of the improvement item, the confirmation of the improvement effect. Then, it is the setup and adjustment to implement in the attendance of the relation section, the staff, the manager.(It is equal to or more than 10 even if it is minimum in all).
It is the place which depends and exposes an improvement item and an improvement idea with the activation of the improvement activity of the setup and adjustment and the eyes of a lot of persons.

The implementation point
1. It notifies the date and time of the implementation of the exhibition setup and adjustment to the participant beforehand.(Participant : The factory manager, the relation office organization, the manufacturing technique staff, the supervisor, the promotion secretariat and so on)
2. The preparation of the necessary record, the implement
 (・ The time study table・The time graph of the setup and adjustment ・ The item finding table ・ The video camera ・ The chronograph ・ The pedometer ・ The bib ・ The whistle ・The host it)
3. The indication of the role share to the participant
 (The record taking charge of the time, The video photography taking charge, The work content explanation taking charge, The others do improvement item extraction and extraction with non-safety work.)
4. The worker of the setup and adjustment puts a bib and a pedometer and works.
5. After the setup and adjustment ends, it argues the work of the improvement item while seeing a meeting video at the boardroom
.It sticks in a host it in the item finding table. It enters the more detailed tally in the work diagram table.
6. It decides the exhibition setup and adjustment plan day taking charge of the improvement, the implementation plan of it and next time.

5. The active step of the setup and adjustment improvement

The step The activity The name 
The activity The contents
1step The active plan and
the goal setting
・ It makes a setup and adjustment improvement plan.The active member, the active schedule, the par setting
・ 1/2 of the par with the present situation value is the 1st step.It makes of the final result later and moreover 1/2.
2step The present situation grasping
