Lecture 3_Flow Interruptions_Setup Times(1)

The lecture focuses on flow interruptions and setup times, defining key terms like 'batch' and discussing the reasons and impacts of batching on resource capacity. It highlights the trade-off between flow rate and inventory in batch production and introduces the Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) approach to reduce setup times. Additionally, it differentiates between internal and external setups, emphasizing their significance in Lean Production.

Lecture 3:

Flow Interruptions: Setup


Times
Learning Objectives
• Define the term “batch” or “lot”
• List reasons for batching
• Impact setups on capacity and understand that larger batch sizes
reduce the impact of the setup time on resource capcity
• Calculate resource capacity with setups and batching
CAPACITY?
CAPACITY?
CAPACITY?
Flow Rate vs. Inventory
• Undestand how to choose an “optimal batch size” for processes with
setups.
• Explain the trade off between ”flow rate” and “inventory” in batch
production.
• Understand and discuss the impact of setups and batching in Lean
Production
3 products L, M, and H:

Product L: basic “low


specfication” model ->
less work content

Product H: high-
specfication requires
additional work.
Reducing Setup Times
• Calculate the effect of reduced setup times on capacity
• List and explain the 6 stages in the Single Minute Exchange of Die
(SMED) approach.
• Explain the difference between “internal” and “external” setups and
give examples from industry.
• Understand and discuss the impact of reducing setup time in Lean
Production.
