Implementation of Single Minute Exchange of Dies at PT Ganding Toolsindo

Abstract

PT Ganding Toolsindo's problem is the replacement of the die which takes a long time, around 30 to 45 minutes per setup. The strategy that can be used to reduce setup time is to apply the Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) method. This research aims to identify the cause of the high die replacement time on the SEYI SN2-300 Press Machine and take corrective steps to increase production effectiveness on the machine, as well as design jigs and fixtures that can make it easier for operators to replace the die. Results Based on data collection on setup dies activity on the SEYI SN2-300 Press Machine, all entered into the internal setup activity with a duration of 2144 seconds. Changes from an internal setup to an external setup have been made. Changing from internal setup to external setup can reduce downtime by 369 seconds. The design of the tools in the form of hanging rollers and roller die is expected to reduce the machine's internal setup time, where these tools can assist operators in moving old dies and installing new dies into the press machine. Based on the measurement of setup time after the implementation of the tools made, the results showed that there was a decrease in setup time of 331 seconds or 5.52 minutes..
