Reduces time lost during machine changeovers.

In-depth Use Case / Real-world Example

Machine Changeover Time tracks the efficiency of transitioning equipment or machinery between different production tasks or product lines. For example, a machine might take 30 minutes to change from producing product A to product B. Reducing changeover time helps improve throughput and decrease downtime, ultimately leading to better capacity utilization. By employing techniques like SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Die), companies can reduce changeover times and improve overall production efficiency.
