The
proper design, training and maintenance of a production
line for quick change directly impacts the goal of becoming
the highest quality, lowest cost producer along with eliminating
or mitigating financial and physical risks to the corporation.
These volumes develop sufficient information and direction
to develop a sound basis for understanding and applying
engineering and management concepts and approaches that
can yield effective positive financial and performance
changes to your operations. Fundamental concepts and tools
will be presented and advanced methods introduced. The
concept of World Class will be introduced and a framework
on how to work towards being a World Class Producer in
your product area.
These
four volumes constitute the only and most exhaustive information
and techniques on how to understand, develop and implement
a quick and first time right philosophy in changing out
production processes from one product to another in the
shortest time with the shortest start up curve. All four
volumes target the packaging, converting and blow molding
industries. Each volume overviews the QCP program and
then concentrates on one of the four main pillars or protocols
that have the ultimate effect and impact on the ability
to change quickly. The volumes present practical management
and engineering techniques from input design and manufacturing;
to training and finding the most efficient management
style which fosters the quick change process; to planning
and designing new production processes or invigorating
existing production processes to get fast changeovers,
thereby maximizing uptime for production and minimizing
the planned change outs periods.
Each volume
can be a standalone program for effective change within
the given protocol and can be implemented by themselves,
independent of the other protocols. Nevertheless, the
biggest change and effectiveness will come from integrating
all the protocols into one seamless company structure
for rapid speed, quality and the lowest cost per unit.
Whether you
are planning a new production line for the quick change
of multiple products and sizes or trying to get more value
and flexibility out of your existing production lines
and products, then these volumes are a must. These volumes
will get you to fine-tune your thinking and skills to
develop your own Quick Change Process that will be effective
and efficient for your operations and products.
