This document discusses quick changeovers in manufacturing lines. It defines a changeover as starting production of a new style after finishing the current style. Quick changeovers finish the current style and start maximum output of the new style in the shortest time possible. The document lists benefits of quick changeovers like higher production and reduced costs. It provides tips for reducing changeover times like preparing in advance, having necessary materials ready, and starting new processes as soon as old ones finish. Finally, it emphasizes that quick changeovers require coordinated efforts across departments.
4. What Is Change Over?
At the end of the production of a style in a line, it means to start the
production of a new / repeated style.
&
Style changeover time is the time between the last output of a
line's current style and the first output of a new style.
5. What is Quick Change Over?
A quick changeover is when a line
achieves the latest output of the
current style and the first output of a
new style in a relatively short time.
Simply put, finishing a style and
ensuring maximum output of a new
style in the shortest possible time is
called quick changeover.
7. Problems That Occur When Change Overtime Is High-
The output comes out late.
Man of the line will sit longer. As a result
the loss time of the line increases.
The defect rate is higher.
The average performance of the line is
poor. If the order is small and urgent, the
shipment is likely to fail.
Above all the costing of the line increases.
9. The capacity of the company will
increase.
Costs will be reduced.
Maximum use of man, machine,
material etc. will be possible.
It will be possible to give timely
shipment to the buyer.
The more production, the more
income there will be.

13. How To Reduce Change Over / Quick
Change Over Time?
5/6 days before entering the new style line, everyone related
to the line should be informed about the new style.
The process layout of the line should be prepared in advance
and adequate and suitable man power and machine should be
fixed according to the layout. At the same time all the
necessary guides, folders and attachments should be
prepared.
14. If there is a difficult or completely new process in the new style,
then the operator of the line has to inform the process in advance,
if necessary, training has to be arranged.
Before entering the new style line, all kinds of patterns have to be
made and all kinds of approval issues including samples have to be
kept right.
As soon as any one of the input processes in the line is completed, the
process of the new order should be started without waiting for all the
processes of the previous order to be completed. Thus, whenever a
process is finished, a new process of new order has to be started. In this
case, if the type of machine changes, the mechanic must also be ready.
15. All inputs of the line (such as fabric, thread, zipper, button,
lace, label, drawstring, tape, etc.) should be adequately
prepared so that no process of the line is stopped for any
input after the line starts.
As soon as the process starts, you have to check the line
quality 5/6 pieces to ensure the quality of the process.
Above all, a concerted effort by everyone can make a quick
changeover a success.
