In-depth Use Case / Real-world Example

Setup Time Efficiency tracks the time it takes to set up equipment for production, with an emphasis on reducing it. For example, if a machine setup takes 2 hours and the target is 1 hour, the efficiency is 50%. Reducing setup time improves production flow and increases machine utilization. Companies can use techniques like SMED to improve setup time efficiency and increase overall productivity.
