Optimization of changeover time in the injection moulding shop through the implementation of an additional connector (Yudo) on HRS multiple input.

Problem Statement

Changeover time in the injection moulding process is higher than desired, leading to inefficiencies in production and delays.

Problem Analysis

The injection moulding process requires frequent changeovers due to variations in production requirements. The existing system lacks flexibility in utilizing connectors and controllers, leading to prolonged changeover time.

Root Cause

The inability of the current setup to accommodate multiple connectors in the same controller is causing extended downtime during changeovers.

Kaizen Idea

Introduce an additional connector (Yudo) on HRS multiple input to enable simultaneous use of both connectors within the same controller, thereby streamlining the changeover process.

Counter Measure

1) Install the additional Yudo connector on HRS multiple input.
2) Test the setup to ensure compatibility with the existing controller system.
3) Train the staff to operate the updated system effectively.

Quantitative

Reduction in changeover time: Improved operational efficiency.
Enhanced flexibility: Both connectors can now be utilized in the same controller, allowing for smoother transitions.
Increased productivity: Less downtime leads to higher production output.
