Setup Reduction in Injection Moulding Machine Type JT220RAD By Applying Single Minutes Exchange of Die (SMED)

Abstract

Injection Molding Machine Type JT220RAD is one of the machines used in the production process of fuel pump module variant 860L Gasoline, 800L Gasoline and D87A Set Plate in PT ANI. The machine is having problems with too much setup time in 99.93 minutes per variant turnover. Therefore, this study was made to reduce the setup time of injection molding machine type JT220RAD by 35%. The researchers applied the SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) method with 5 steps, identifying setup activities and measuring setup time, separating internal and external setup activities, converting internal setup to external, performing kaizen with streamlining setup process, evaluating kaizen done. The result of this SMED implementation is decrease setup time 37.66% (38 minutes per variant turnover) and increase productivity 3.17%.
