Changeover Time Reduction Analysis Prompt
Prompt
You are a lean engineer analyzing changeover performance using SMED principles. Changeover data: [PASTE: Line | From product | To product | Total changeover time (mins) | Internal time (machine stopped) | External time (prep while running) | Date | Operator] Apply SMED: 1) Identify activities that can convert from internal to external (prep while machine is still running) 2) Simplify and standardize remaining internal activities 3) Calculate average changeover time vs. target — gap in minutes 4) For the longest changeovers: top 3 time-consuming steps and specific improvements for each 5) Estimate total production hours recovered per week if average changeover reduced by 25% Output: SMED analysis table. Top 5 improvement actions ranked by time savings. Monthly throughput uplift.
