Abstract

The purposes of this research were to: 1) study the way to reduce machine setup time in the packaging size changing process, and 2) implement the process improvement to reduce machine setup time in the packaging size changing process. In this research, the data were analyzed by cooperating with production control engineers, maintenance technicians and machine operators. The result found that the machine setup time in the packaging size changing process consumed much time. Then the researcher implemented the SMED principle to improve and eliminate some steps inside the process and applied the ECRS principle to improve the machine set-up process by creating tools to aid the packaging size changing operation. The result showed that the steps in the packaging size changing process were reduced from 22 to 21 steps, and the time was reduced from 3,044.81 to 2,695.30 seconds, which was reduced by 349.51 seconds or 11.48 percent. The use of SMED and ECRS principles are capable to reduce the time and increase the efficiency of the packaging size-changing process.
