Operational system area

Changeover Tracker

Track setup start, setup end, first-good-piece timing, and delay reasons so changeover losses become visible and comparable.

The operating problem

Changeover time is often estimated or absorbed into the schedule, which hides waiting, missing tools, quality release delays, and repeated setup issues.

What happens without this system

  • Setup time is estimated instead of measured by event.
  • Waiting time, adjustment time, and first-good-piece delay are mixed together.
  • Repeated changeover blockers are not assigned before the next run.
  • Plants lose capacity between runs without knowing which delay is preventable.

What the system makes visible

  • Setup start, setup end, and first-good-piece time
  • Product change, tooling status, and quality release status
  • Waiting reasons and repeated setup delays
  • Owner and next action for repeated changeover issues
  • Changeover performance by line, product, and shift

Decisions it supports

  • Which changeover step creates the most repeat delay?
  • Which setup issue should be fixed before the next run?
  • Which missing tool, material, or approval blocked first good piece?
  • Which changeover should be reviewed in the daily meeting?

What this is not

This is not a generic dashboard template. Innovomind shapes each system around the operating problem, the information teams need to trust, and the decision the plant needs to improve.
