ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF RAPID TOOL CHANGE (SMED) ON REDUCING SETUP TIMES IN MACHINING CENTERS
Several strategies are applied to improve operational results. Through the application of action research, this work aimed to implement the rapid tool change system and reduce the setup time of machining centers. As a result, after applying the TRF, setup times were reduced by 62.6% (from 02:01:36 hours to 45:30 minutes). This work is justified because, in addition to reducing the time in setup changes, it also reduced the number of products delivered late by 90% (from 12,425 to 1,227 parts) after 4 months of implementing the activities.
