You don't have time for downtime...

 

Changeover.com is dedicated to reducing changeover times for packaging, assembly, molding, extrusion, stamping and other manufacturing processes. 

 

Time lost changing processes from one product to another is time that can never be regained. Costs of changeover will vary by industry and company but are likely to be in the thousands or tens of thousands of dollars per hour. Even minor reductions can reap significant dollar savings. 

 

We believe that changeovers must be modeled on the NASCAR/F-1 racing pitstops. When it is time to change over get it done in the shortest possible time. Equally important, get it done right the first time.

 

Say NO! to quick changeover 

 

At Changeover.com, we don't believe in "quick" changeover. Too often, this simply means trying to do the same thing quicker by making associates work harder and faster. This doesn't lead to any lasting gains and may cause more problems than it solves.

 

We believe in lean changeover.

 

Lean changeover is changeover from which all wasted effort, motion, tasks and, most importantly, time, have been removed. 

 

Changeover the ESEE way 

 

We believe that changeover should be ESEE:

Eliminate all non-value added tasks

Simplify all tasks that cannot be eliminated

Externalize changeover as much as possible

Exactly! Make all changeover settings precise and repeatable 

 

Services offered by Changeover.com include:

 

  • "Lean Changeover Made ESEE" workshops
  • "Changeover as a business strategy" workshops

  • Packaging line design

You must slash changeover times.

Your competition is.

Be a hero, do it.
