Among the biggest mistakes manufacturers make is not keeping key equipment and processes running and making saleable product when needed. This situation existed when the author Mike Beauregard began working in manufacturing years ago and it currently remains true in companies ostensibly focusing on Lean. To improve, companies often rely on increasing productivity by making products faster and with more automation, but many fail to focus on the area in which they can get the biggest gains for their efforts – the reduction of downtime. This book provides readers the techniques they crucially need to keep their critical manufacturing equipment running correctly and efficiently -- which increases production, decreases labor costs, decreases breakdown costs, and ultimately increases the bottom line. Downtime in production lines stems from many sources. The contribution might be small for many of those sources, but it adds up. Downtime and its causes then insidiously become the norm, accepted, unseen by the workforce and the management team. Most training courses and books look at a specific cause of downtime – mainly, either product changeover (set-up reduction) or breakdowns (TPM). This book addresses these two areas and many other sources of downtime including how to decrease downtime caused by supply chain issues, staffing issues, and downtime internal to the processes themselves. In the final chapter, the author covers how to manage the downtime reduction effort – how to measure downtime, prioritize which downtime sources to attack first, and monitor the improvement

ReducedEffort® Changeover: The Lean Way to Quickly Reduce Changeover Downtime provides a step-by-step guide for conducting a Kaizen event that empowers the people who do the work to improve how that work is done. Packed with tips, tools, and examples, this practical guide begins with a clear description of the Lean principles underlying the ReducedEffort Changeover system. In addition, it explains how and why reducing the effort always reduces the time of converting a machine, line, or process from one product to another. In this book, you’ll find everything you need to quickly and dramatically reduce the effort and time of any process using the ReducedEffort method. This is not another book about how to do SMED. Like SMED, ReducedEffort Changeover (REC) does reduce changeover time, but REC is not SMED. SMED, Single Minute (or digit) Exchange of Dies, developed by Dr. Shigeo Shingo, has been the process used for many years by countless manufacturing plants to reduce changeover time. The SMED process was used in Toyota to reduce the changeover of a 1,000-ton stamping press from four hours to three minutes. As a Lean-based process, the REC system focuses on reducing the labor, not the time, involved in changing over a machine to work on a different product. With REC, there are no Standard Operation Combination Sheets to fill out and no Problem Identification Sheets to complete, and it does not require the arduous chore of timing every task, as SMED does. Very little capital investment is required with REC. Unlike SMED, it does not require management-approved funding to achieve substantial results. Because REC is not capital-driven, management does not need to drive the process. The operators will drive the process because it reduces their labor. One of the biggest advantages of REC over SMED is that operators will readily accept the process, and more important, they will want to sustain it. The reason for this is quite simple and will become evident when the REC process is defined. REC takes SMED to a new level that is easier and faster both to implement and to deliver sustainable results.

This book reports on cutting-edge findings and developments in physical, social and occupational ergonomics. It covers a broad spectrum of studies and evaluation procedures concerning physical and mental workload, work posture and ergonomic risk. Further, it reports on significant advances in the design of services and systems, including those addressing special populations, for purposes such as health, safety and education, and discusses solutions for a better and safer integration of humans, automated systems and digital technologies. The book also analyzes the impact of culture on people’s cognition and behavior, providing readers with timely insights into theories on cross-cultural decision-making, and their diverse applications for a number of purposes in businesses and societies. Based on the AHFE 2021 conferences on Physical Ergonomics and Human Factors, Social & Occupational Ergonomics, and Cross-Cultural Decision Making, held virtually on 25–29 July, 2021, from USA, it provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the current challenges in physical, social and occupational ergonomics, including those imposed by technological developments, highlights key connections between them, and puts forward optimization strategies for sociotechnical systems, including their organizational structures, policies and processes.

"We worked with Ron to implement the ReducedEffort(r) process and saw a 30% output improvement after just three days. The real bonus came with the unleashing of employee engagement."- Nick Wilson, President of Morrison Container Handling Solutions; Past Chairman of Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI); Packaging Hall of Fame inductee "I really don't know if I can put a value on this training because this event will change my life for the next fifty to sixty years. This process could be applied to any and all aspects of work and life. Wow, what an eye-opening week!"- Brad Miller, Process Improvement Coordinator, major beverage bottler "Ron Heiskell and his ReducedEffort changeover philosophy has been so successful at our facility because it is highly relatable to the everyday worker and manager.... It is both simple and revolutionary." - Tony Coleman, Plant Manager, major beverage company "I just wanted to give you a quick update on our ReducedEffort Changeover progress. The changeover we did this afternoon was 40 minutes. Prior to the one week ReducedEffort Changeover event, the changeover time was 347 minutes."- Danielle Hess, Operations Manager, major extruder of plastics "Ron Heiskell has given the Lean world a gift: an opportunity to improve far beyond what anybody could fathom."- Paul Akers, 2 Second Lean, Lean Health, and Lean Travel "The operators in any given plant, in my opinion, know the machines better than anyone. They are, after all, the ones who have to deal with the equipment forty-plus hours a week. Ron has developed an ingenious way of bringing them together and putting their sometimes unheard ideas into action. I have seen machines go from four to five hour changeovers down to as little as twenty minutes! With his ReducedEffort changeover process I am always super confident when leading operators into a Kaizen event because there are always amazing results." - Mitch Zirkle, Improvement Methodologies leader, major bag manufacturing facility Slash changeover downtime in one week with ReducedEffort Changeover. It is the next generation of SMED and sets a new standard in rapid changeovers.

This is the first book to examine the “nuts and bolts” of production processes. It proposes a truly consilient approach to modeling production processes – one that goes beyond the vague principles found in standard economics – and provides details that are consistent with the applied mechanics and engineering literature. Providing a credible analysis of some of the most pressing questions of our era, such as the productivity slowdown and the information paradox, and bridging the gap between engineering, applied physics, economics, and management science, this book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in industry, the modern economy, and how physical factors constrain productivity growth.
