Abstract
In recent decades industry has focussed a lot of attention on changeover performance, recognising it has to reduce changeover losses in multi-product manufacturing environments in order to remain competitive.
This paper seeks to analyse the complexity of the changeover problem and the scope of the diverse improvement opportunities which typically are present. It does so by investigating widely variable changeover classification methodologies which have been developed to date. The paper discusses how suitable elements of these existing methodologies might be combined, thereby guiding the changeover practitioner in a structured fashion to consider a full compliment of potential improvements.
