The
Set-up Reduction game is a self-learning exercise designed to give hands-on
experience of simplifying a Set-up in a team based environment using
the tools & techniques learned during the theoretical training provided
with the game.
|
 |
The initial
Set-up simulates a typical layout of a machine where there are no set
procedures to follow and it relies on the experience of the operators/setters
to achieve a good quality product.
|
The team will then use the tools and techniques from the theoretical training
and the materials in the kit to simplify the Set-up method and therefore reduce
the Set-up time. There are many ways to reduce the Set-up time and one method
has been included in the kit with the material required to achieve it.
Training and practise in Setting Capability is also included in the game.
Tools & Techniques used:
- 5 stage approach to Set-up Reduction
- Recording with video and stopwatch
- Elemental Analysis separating Internal from External
- Converting Internal elements to External
- Organising External elements
- Reducing remaining Internal element times
- Multiple Activity Scheduling
- Pareto Principle
- Method Planning
- Setting Capability
The game is supplied fully boxed with a comprehensive Instruction Manual
and Training Package
