IMPLEMENTATION OF SIMPLE SINGLE MINUTE EXCHANGE OF DIES (SMED) TO REDUCE SETUP CLEAN UP PROCESS AT SUGAR COATING LINE.

The setup clean-up process needs much work time, and this is not a piece of good news for the company. The long downtime, resulting in delays in the production process in certain capacities. Companies must be able to fix this problem by minimizing clean-up setup time and process time. The purpose of this study is to minimize the setup clean up time at the sugar-coated coating line machine using the SMED (Single Minute of Exchange Dies) approach. The research method used is time study and then doing some classification, conversion, and simplification of this process. The result is that the setup clean up time has dropped significantly at the average by 28%. A more concise and efficient process will have a positive effect on the production process lead-time. In addition to these positive results, companies will get benefit from getting a new workflows that are leaner. Of course, this process needs to be validated in order to get good and consistent final results.
