Abstract

This paper recommends a stepwise method, named sustainable-setup-stream-mapping (3SM), to improve manufacturing setup time and its sustainability impacts. The method is developed based on an extensive literature review, in-depth explorative research in discrete manufacturing, and lean manufacturing tools: value stream mapping (VSM) and Single-Minute Exchange of Die (SMED). 3SM uses VSM in a novel way to break down setup operations, and employs SMED techniques to improve them. 3SM also recommends a list of criteria, for environmental, social, and economic pillars of sustainability, to assess the setup impacts against them within the setup workstation and in its relevant processes. This research implements 3SM in a real-life case, where the outcomes prove the practicality of 3SM and its improvements in setup times and sustainability criteria. It shows what/how sustainability criteria are influenced by setup activities/tasks at setup work station and factory-wide levels, and also expands the scope of SMED to sustainability improvement.

摘要

本文推荐了一种名为可持续设置流映射 (3SM) 的逐步方法，以改进制造设置时间及其可持续性影响。该方法是基于广泛的文献回顾、对离散制造的深入探索性研究和精益制造工具开发的：价值流图 (VSM) 和芯片单分钟交换 (SMED)。3SM 以一种新颖的方式使用 VSM 来分解设置操作，并采用 SMED 技术来改进它们。3SM 还针对可持续性的环境、社会和经济支柱推荐了一系列标准，以评估设置工作站及其相关流程中的设置影响。本研究在现实案例中实施 3SM，结果证明 3SM 的实用性及其在设置时间和可持续性标准方面的改进。
