Within Change
Part Protocols are those activities that concentrate on
the machine tooling (change parts or machine setup) or
ability to changeover a given packaging machine or system
to adapt to the next required product scheduled. The main
issues relate to clean up, decontamination, ergonomics,
identification and documentation, design and specification
of parts, wear and maintenance, transfers and storage,
vendor support and continuous improvement.
Historically,
most production lines have not been conceived, specified
and designed for short runs and quick change and as a
consequence change part or tooling designs reflect this
thinking and make changing over awkward and time consuming.
