Quick Change-Over (QCO) is a workshop designed for the explicit purpose of enabling you to achieve < 10 minutes changeovers (single minute) on your process equipment, and ultimately achieve < 100 second changeovers (One-Touch Exchange of Die…OTED) on this equipment.   The QCO/SMED principles are easy to learn and can be applied to any process and/or any equipment in your business.

 

 

Basic QCO Process: 

  1. Videotape the current process
  2. List all elements
  3. Identify Internal and External elements and time for each element
  4. Separate Internal from External elements
  5. Move Internal to External
  6. Improve remaining Internal
  7. Improve External
  8. Measure the time it takes to Changeover/Setup your current process/equipment
  9. Create a QCO Implementation Team and a QCO Plan

Learning Objectives:

  1. Simulate a current process setup/changeover and measure the time it takes.
  2. See professionals do the same work in just seconds.
  3. Learn the 16-step QCO Process
  4. Understand the difference between internal elements and external elements.
  5. Apply the 16-step QCO Process to your process and/or your equipment
