Standardise New Setup Methods Finally, set standards to ensure the improvements stick Actions Examples Develop visual standards for all Setup processes and maintain them ? Visual Setup procedure, plotting the achieved Setup time, and having visual standards explaining the use of the new improvements ? Visual tool boards for all necessary items during the Setup (hand tooling) ? Visual storage areas for equipment (machine tooling, die sets, ...) ? Visual colourcoded standards for setup (eg: each stop block of a different colour) ? Make it visually obvious what has to be changed on the machine (eg: paint the parts to be changed) ? Develop standards to maintain the Setup equipment in good condition (cleaning, tooling maintenance, audits,…) Standardize the improvement to all similar machines 169。 Company, Inc. 2020 25 5. Improve External Steps Look at the external steps and improve them too Actions Examples Reduce external waste of transport Improve availability of all materials needed Dedicate all equipment needed to the Setup to eliminate the preparation work Improve external tasks’ effectiveness ? All operators’ necessary items as close as possible to their location of use: Computer, paperwork, storage for hand tooling, raw materials and equipment ? All materials needed available in sufficient quantity and stored properly (5S). BANISH TOOLBOXES ! ? Setup kits displayed on the machine or on tool boards or trolleys dedicated to the Setup, rather than one single equipment shared between several different machines BANISH TOOLBOXES AGAIN! ?
