THE MACHINE ITSELF

It was designed by CLT and build by IOnline;

It was conceived to put the concepts of quick changeover into practice.

THE PROCESSES

“Fall seven times. Stand up eight.”


R E A D Y T O M A K E Y O U R F I R S T C H A N G E O V E R ?

Make sure the timer is on;

You may need some tools to help you;

Take notes along the changeover;

Record ideas that may help us to reduce complexity and setup time.

Take some pictures that may be used as future memory;

Discuss the solutions and implement them;

Discuss the results!


P R O C E S S 1

To prepare this process you need to prepare the ZFC40(Zero Force Connector) so that energy can flowto Process 2;

To do so, keep this code in mind, you will need it to make energy flowing:

2 3 9 14 17 Off you go!


P R O C E S S 2

This DIL (dual inline) connector needs to be fit so that the energy canflow to the next process;

This is the right sequence to prepare this process:

D G I K a b


JUST TO REMEMBER THE ALPHABET…


P R O C E S S 3

In this process two pulse buttons need to be pressed. It is quite simple!


P R O C E S S 4

This processes uses a DIP Switch that needs to be prepared.

The operations manual of this machine had a missing page in this process so you need to find the position of only two switches…

1on, 2off, 3off, 4on, 6on, 8on.


P R O C E S S 5

Plug Sub D9

This the simplest process as only one plug needs to be involved;

Why don’t you give it a try?


P R O C E S S 6

Now it is time to prepare the 6th process: Plug Sub D25!

To work properly you need a key to be inserted in this process;

The key can not be directly inserted in the Plug Sub D25;

You need to prepare a “bridge” so it can work properly;

Use the materials provided to do so…

ERROR!


The “blue wires” are to be consumed during the process,

ie: every time you need to prepare this process new wires

need to be mounted…


P R O C E S S 7

After successfully concluded the previous six processes this machine gives you a limited amount of time to prepare the seventh process;

If you fail to setup this process you need to start all over again from process 1 to 6;

This process was normally prepared by an old lady that is now retried and no one knows exactly how she managed to put the process right. Maybe it was her experience or the feminine intuition…

The next picture depicts one rare moment of the process well prepared and have been used ever since as a guide/reference to prepare this process.


Consider this the “correct position” of

the POTENTIOMETERS

Good, it is now time to improve it…

and document it as well
