Aplicação da metodologia de troca rápida de ferramenta em uma empresa produtora de embalagens metálicas

Abstract

The Just in Time system aims to produce items when they are necessary and in the requested quantities, at the lowest possible cost, causing a small number of supplies and continuously reducing the wastage, it results in the so-called Single-Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) looking for a time shortening in the readiness process of the machine (setup). The current paperwork introduces a methodological plan for the SMED, based upon a research on what is published about the theme and relates to the following topics: teamwork organization, decision for the existing method, separation of the internal and external elements, conversion of the internal elements into external ones, reduction or disposal of internal elements, elimination of adjustments, standardization and documentation. Such methodology was used in a case study for a metal packaging company, it all starts with the company introducing its details in a deep way, it is then described how cans are produced, it shows also its own rating and process of setting up, the next stage was the analysis into the setup situation before installing the SMED for a future creation of a proposed situation, by doing a series of improvements in order to reduce the setup timing, the conclusion of the study comes by watching its results, in what we can prove how some time can be gained after the installation of the SMED in all the machines used directly at the creating process, and to conclude the final considerations at the chapter, through a general comparison we can see that the internal setup time was reduced in a percentage of 84,6% which is equal to 241,6 minutes.
