• Study the Brand change Overs & Format change overs.
• Change Overs Downtime Analysis.
• RCO Deployment for reducing changeover downtime.
• Analysis of Data Starting from 1st January, 2016 till July end.
• Analyse the downtime of different changeovers shift wise and brand wise.
• Driving the conclusions to select target areas for RCO.
• Late shift has mostly less downtime than early & night shifts.
• Change Over from CBPM to PG.
• Change Over from CBPM to B&H.
• Change Overs from PG-CBPM
• Total Number of Change Overs = 14
• Minimum Downtime = 0:15
• Maximum Downtime = 6 :00???
• Average Downtime = 1:55
• RCO stands for Rapid change over.
• Each element of the changeover is analyzed
to see if it can be eliminated, simplified,
moved or streamlined.
• NASCAR Pit Crew a simple demonstration
of RCO.
• Reduced downtime. (Increased OEE).
• Increased capacity.
• Greater flexibility.
• Reduced stock.
• Improved responsiveness to customer demand.

• The target area for the pilot SMED program is selected. Ideal line have the following characteristics.• Duration
• Variation
• Opportunities
• Familiarity
• Analyzing all the steps of changeover. (Process Mapping)
• Change Overs time can be nearly cut to half with this step only.
• Examples: Retrieval, Inspection, Cleaning, Quality.
• Advance preparation.
• Modularize.
• The remaining elements are tried to simplify.
• Following techniques could be used: release, Motion, Parallel operations.
• Always keep looking for further improvements• New Technologies.
• New people-New Ideas.
• New premises or changes to layout.
Step 1: Process Mapping
Step 2: Separate External Elements
Step 3: Organizing External Elements• The blanks could reach before the process stop.
• The cleaning of surrounding could be done before stopping.
• The quality check could be done either after running the machine. To stop the machine was not a good idea.
• There was a jam and operators were not technical so it took time to clear the jam.
Step 4: Convert Internal Elements to External• Removing wastes from the surroundings of machine.
Step 5: Streamline remaining elements• Use two code & date printers.
Step 6: Continuous Improvement• Keep analyzing to make improvements.
Process Mapping
• After process mapping separation of activities was done.
• Separating activities in the categories like Value Added, Not Value added nut required, delay etc.
• Time optimization of different activities.
• Separating external & Internal activities.
• Streamlining internal activities.
• Proper Preparation.
• Eliminating delay like discussions during work, remaining Idle, Long lunch and tea breaks.
• Training Operators specifically for changeovers.
• Standardize all necessary nuts, bolts etc.
• Give timelines to workers.
• Moving Internal activities to external.
• Changes in methods. Like segregating external and internal,Eliminating delays etc.
• Changes in methods are not expensive and can generate significantreductions in setup time.
• Once the benefits have been realized from the methodsimprovements mechanical modifications can be explored.
• Area sorted and cleaned.
• Use of shadow boards for hand tools.
• All necessary tools nearby.
• Incoming and outgoing areas are clearly defined.
• Dedicated tool or tie carts for each machine station and worker.
• Visual flow of work through the area.
• Machine Operators.
• Setup Crew.
• Mechanic/Maintenance.
• Quality.
• Planning.
• Others as needed.
Anyone touched or affected by setup times should be involved!!!
• The Changeovers downtime can be significantly reduced by deploying RCO.
• More than 40% setup time can be reduced by eliminating delays, proper planning, Segregating external and internal activities.
