Benefits from a SMED Application in a Punching Machine

چکیده
This paper presents an application of the SingleMinute Exchange of Die (SMED) methodology to a turret punching machine in an elevators company, in Portugal. The work was developed during five months, in the ambit of a master thesis in Industrial Engineering and Management. The Lean Production tool SMED was applied to reduce setup times in order to improve the production flexibility of the machine. The main results obtained were a reduction of 64% in setup time (from 15.1 to 5.4min), 50% in work-in-process amount (from 12.8 to 6.4 days) and 99% in the distance traveled by the operator during the internal period (from 136.7 to 1.7m). These improvements correspond to gains of about €7,315.38 per year. Keywords—Lean production, setup process, SMED.

Improving the Punching Shear Strength of RC Slabs by FRP and Steel Sheets
This paper deals with the modeling of punching shear failure in reinforced concrete slabs using nonlinear finite element analysis. The 3D finite element analyses (FEA) were performed with the appropriate modeling of element size and mesh, and the constitutive modeling of concrete. The FE numerical models are validated by comparing with the experimental results obtained from tested specimens and...
متن کاملSetup time reduction: SMED-balancing integrated model for manufacturing systems with automated transfer
The importance of short setup times is increasing in every type of industry. It has been known how to address this problem for about 20 years. The SMED method, originally developed by the Japanese industrial engineer Shigeo Shingo for reducing the time to exchange dies, gives a really straightforward approach to improve existing setups. On the other hand, in the case of complex manufacturing sy...
متن کاملEstimation of Punching Shear Capacity of Concrete Slabs Using Data Mining Techniques
Punching shear capacity is a key factor for governing the collapsed form of slabs. This fragile failure that occurs at the slab-column connection is called punching shear failure and has been of concern for the engineers. The most common practice in evaluating the punching strength of the concrete slabs is to use the empirical expressions available in different building design codes. The estima...
متن کاملMaintenance management decision model for preventive maintenance strategy on production equipment
In industries, Preventive Maintenance (PM) is not a new practice to minimise the sudden breakdown of production machine. PM will be performed at predetermine intervals to provide a balance between failure cost and component utilisation (aging). However, most of PM interval is based on experience or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) recommendations. Consequently, the benefits from PM are not...
متن کاملChangeover Time Reduction and Productivity Improvement by Integrating Conventional SMED Method with Implementation of MES for Better Production Planning and Control
This paper addresses a setup time reduction through SMED with an integration of MES (planning system interface). Reduction of changeover time has always been critical in most of the manufacturing industries. Most of the changeover or setup time reduction are governed or associated with Shingo’s Single Minute Exchange of Die(SMED) method that suggest the conversion of internal setup operations t...
