Ställtidsreducering med hjälp av SMED i pressgjuterianläggningarEliasson, Martin, Ristander, Robin, Gustafsson, Joacim January 2007 (has links)
<p>To maintain production in high salaries countries and strength in competition against other companies, it is today more important than ever to maximize production, offer a wide spectra of products and be able to deliver on the customers desire of shorter and shorter delivery time.

The goal is to implement a thorough investigation by using the SMED method at Tenhults Pressgjuteri AB and make a brochure that have to be simple to understand, in purpose to draw interest to the advantages of using SMED as a method. Commissioned by the Swedish foundry association Swecast, the work has been carried out by studying die changeovers at Tenhults Pressgjuteri AB, where filming and interviews with the operators have been included in the analysis. Meetings have been held with Husqvarna AB about their expected earnings on there new investment. The work with analyzing die changeovers resulted in following suggestions of improvement: • Manuals of adjustments to the sprayer • Rapid couplings to the warmth- and cooling hoses • Eliminating the work of adjustment when changing the ladle • Introduced a combined spanner- torque wrench • Manuals to the mechanical lock The total theoretical improvement of these measures, along with routines for making outside exchange of die before the machine was shut downed, became a reduction of time spent on die changeover with 60%, from 167 minutes to 66 minutes.
