The Job Change Tool.
SKU Library. Live Execution. KPI Tracking.
Job change is the single biggest source of controllable hot-end downtime and rejects. Traditional changeovers rely on paper checklists, tribal knowledge, and shift-by-shift variation. We replace all of that with one system, built by operators who have changed every type of mould on every IS machine.
Traditional vs Lean Glass.
The dimensions that move pack rate and EBITDA — side by side.
SKU Library
Lock in the best-known state. Once.
Per-SKU specs — gob weight, mould cooling, swab programme, plunger setup, takeout timing, hot-end coating dose, lehr profile, target changeover time — versioned, auditable, change-controlled.
Live Execution
Every role sees the next step. At the right time.
Mould changer, IS operator, forehearth, QA — each role sees their next step on a tablet, with target timing, dependencies and quality checks. No shouting across the forming floor.
KPI Tracking
Live target vs actual. Closed-loop.
Changeover time, first-ware quality, percent-pack, OEE recovery — tracked live, target vs actual. Every changeover writes to the SKU Library: confirming the standard, or proposing an update via change control.
From SKU import to closed-loop in 8 weeks.
