Set-up time refers to the time required to convert a machine or production line from the manufacture of one product to the manufacture of another.
\nThis period of time includes preparing the set-up, changing tools, molds or fixtures and adjusting the machine to the new specifications. <\/p>\n

The aim is to prepare the machine for the next production run without compromising the quality of the products.
\nSet-up times are a critical factor in production planning and control, as they directly influence the flexibility and efficiency of production.
\nReducing set-up times can make a significant contribution to increasing overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and reducing production costs. <\/p>\n

Our tip:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The set-up times can be divided into the following segments: Setup preparation, setup, teardown and, if necessary, setup post-processing.<\/p>\n

Setup preparation and setup post-processing are possible at the same time as the ongoing production of the previous or next production order.
\nThese preparatory and follow-up set-up tasks are called “external set-up” because they differ from “internal set-up”, which includes the set-up and teardown segments and can only take place during machine downtime. <\/p>\n

A precise division of all set-up operations into external and internal set-up is crucial for reducing set-up times.<\/p>\n

The distinction between set-up and teardown is also relevant for detailed production planning.
\nThere, it may even be necessary to record the set-up and teardown times per device, mold or tool so that a detailed planning system can calculate the changeover times from one production order to the next more precisely. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
