How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the current changeover time in minutes from last good part to first good part.
- Break down changeover into internal (machine stopped) and external (can be done while running) elements.
- Input the time for each internal and external element.
- Review the quick-win opportunity: converting internal elements to external using SMED methodology.
- Target a reduction to under 10 minutes for most changeovers by eliminating and parallelizing steps.
