Job Set-up Optimization and Errorproofing

Manufacturers wishing to improve job set-up performance will benefit from this results-oriented program. This program is designed to reduce downtime, improve quality and increase customer satisfaction. This is a proactive approach to fending off problems that utilizes error proofing, standardized work and changeover process simplification. As a result, manufacturers can maintain a defect-free reputation while reducing scrap and eliminating non-value added set-up time.

The workshop takes place at the manufacturer's location, in close proximity to the line under review. It is most successful when a cross-functional team of 5 to 16 participants, including operators, participate in this unique program. The Job Set-Up Optimization & Error Proofing Program has three distinct phases:

2 Weeks Prior to Workshop	Workshop	3 Weeks After Workshop
Pre-Meeting Scope current situation Capture and evaluate current set-up practices Collect performance data Document decisions	Workshop Obtain shared understanding of current set-up Identify weak links Consider Best Practices Prioritize action items Agree upon action plan	Action Review Meeting Review action items and changes to the set-up process Assess and verify results Certify completion
