Tiivistelmä
The aim of this thesis was to propose development of Mastercam setup sheet templates integrated with Lean principle and Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) techniques to optimize machining setup processes. Traditional setup sheets often lack comprehensive information, resulting in inefficiencies and delays during CNC machining operations. By leveraging Lean methodologies and SMED principles, this research presents a refined setup sheet that streamlines setup activities, reduces nonvalue added tasks, and enhances overall productivity. The thesis was commissioned by Camcut Oy.
The Mastercam setup sheet is a critical component of the research conducted in the field of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). The setup sheet serves as a comprehensive guide for the setup and machining of a specific part. The thesis report begins with an overview of the Mastercam software, its features, and its role in computer aided manufacturing. In the study the various elements included in a typical Mastercam setup sheet, such as tool information, holder information etc were explored. In this project a proper setup sheet documentation in enhancing productivity and reducing error during the machining process was found. The effectiveness of different strategies and presenting information on the setup sheet to improve operator understanding and efficiency were investigated.
The implementation of the modified Mastercam setup sheet with Lean principles and SMED techniques has the potential to significantly improve manufacturing efficiency, reduce setup time, enhance productivity, and eliminate waste. By fostering a culture of continuous improvement and standardized work, this approach contributes to the overall competitiveness and profitability of manufacturing operations.
