Abstract

Rapid machine set-up plays an important part in minimizing the capacity of machine. When changeover duration is short, companies are able to respond quickly to the changing of customer demands and increase manufacturing flexibility. This study is about proposing Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) at the production department of Dormakaba Production Sdn. Bhd. focusing on reducing the time taken in changing fixtures in order to inprove the productivitiy of machine. The aim of this study are to study the changeover procedure of milling macine, identify the internal and external activities and propose a standard operation procedure of model changeover process. The main goal of this study is to reduce the time taken of changeover process by 30% where the current changeover of fixtures require extra time which up to 1 hour and 37 minutes. The methodology presented in the report showed the successful of SMED implementation in reducing the time taken for changing fixtures in milling machine. Current changeover process was observed by videotaping the whole process. Then, all the activities are then distinguish between internal and external. From all the data collected, a new changeover procedure had been proposed to the company. Through the implementation of SMED, a significant amount of time has been reduced to approximately 31 minutes. Therefore, it is found that an estimate of 67.87% time reduction is achieved. As a result, SMED methodology is an effective tool in reducing the set-up time.
