Reducing Change Over Time
We had tried our best to reduce the setting time (changeover time) from X hrs to Y hrs and had been successful for 6 months but it has started to deteriorate from the 7th month onwards.The setters who do the setting are skilled in their job and constant training is being given . One observation was that setting time have been less whenever the supervisor is beside the operator for the complete setting . But we are not able to ask the supervisor to followup the setting because he is held up in other machines ?
What can the forum users suggest to improve this performance? What do you find is lacking?
