[Case Study] Reducing setup time that varies by production order to increase the operating time of production equipment.

As a case study for the implementation of Optimal Works, we have published an example from a chemical manufacturer that focuses on "reducing setup time, which fluctuates based on manufacturing order, to increase the operating time of production equipment."
In the manufacturing process of paints and dyes, there is a cleaning time for equipment (setup time). To increase production volume, it is necessary to create a production plan that minimizes setup time and maximizes equipment operating time. However, the know-how for planning has become tacit knowledge held by experienced personnel, leading to risks associated with reliance on specific individuals.
The article introduces a case where the implementation method of Optimal Works, which involves checking outputs and improving production plans through PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act), has formalized the know-how and achieved a reduction in work time.
