Machine Changeover
Changing over machines for new products or processes is often time-consuming, error-prone, and heavily dependent on paper-based documentation and a frontline worker's skill level.
Furthermore it requires a high level of skill. This is where the machine changeover app replaces paper instructions and unstructured tasks with a digital, step-by-step instructions. Changeover tasks are coordinated between all relevant roles to streamline the process.
Solution
Why use the Machine Changeover App?
How our Machine Changeover App streamlines your manufacturing operations
Existing Processes
- Scattered change over instructions or paper-based manuals that are tough to track
- Manual coordination of tasks and unclear responsibilities
- Few workers possessing the skills required
With Workerbase
- Digital, standardized work instructions and checklists accessible anytime
- Automated task assignments and alerts for the right person based on skills and availability
- Digital knowledge capture to transfer essential knowledge between workers
Upload or create your changeover instructions
Add existing PDFs or create new instructions directly in the system.
Break down complex instructions (e.g., tool swaps, quality checks) into independent steps that can be assigned to different workers.
Design parallel processes
The key component to speed up changeover processes is to break the workflow into parallel streams.
By digitally coordinating all relevant workers, the total process can often be drastically shortened. Supporting workers are only called in for specific tasks when they are needed and otherwise continue value adding activities in other areas.
Distribute work based on roles and skills
Automatically assign tasks to the respective workers based on skills required.
The Workerbase task management system automatically controls the whole flow and dynamically assigns tasks to other workers when they are required in the process. Just tag a task with a skill and the system runs the coordination based on the actual timings.
Significantly streamline your changeover processes
