MACHINE LEARNING IN SMED
Journal Title: Journal of Machine Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper discusses Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) and machine learning methods, such as neural networks and a decision tree. SMED is one of lean production methods for reducing waste in the manufacturing process, which helps to reorganize a conversion of the manufacturing process from current to the next product. SMED needs set-up activity analyses, which include activity classification, working time measurement and work improvement. The analyses presented in the article are focused on selecting the time measurement method useful from the SMED perspective. Time measurement methods and their comparison are presented in the paper. Machine learning methods are used to suggest the method of time measurement which should be applied in a particular case of workstation reorganization. A training set is developed and an example of classification is presented. Time and motion study is one of important methods of estimating machine changeover time. In the field of time study, researchers present the obtained results by using (linear) multi-linear regression models (MLR), and (non-linear) multi-layer perceptrons (MLP). The presented approach is particularly important for the enterprises which offer make-to-order products. Development of the SMED method can influence manufacturing cost reduction of customized products. In variety oriented manufacturing, SMED supports flexibility and adaptability of the manufacturing system.<br/><br/>
