Abstract
Time Loss is a critical issues in automotive production through non-valued added activities and effected to the overall productivity. This paper introduces the changeover monitoring tool as a function for monitoring time loss during changeover activities in automotive production. The tool for monitoring changeover can be specified known as Non-valued Changeover Time (NVCOT). The structure of NVCOT is developed through the analysis of literature study on assembly processes. The subsequent step is to do a verification of NVCOT�s structure in manufacturing industries. The verification is verified by the industry�s practitioners through the step of interview sessions. Finally, the structure of NVCOT is validated through case studies of five automotive manufacturing companies. In this study, the results of time loss based on non-valued added activities in automotive production is commonly affected by four basic factors; (i) Front and Rear, (ii) Right and Left, (iii) Model Variety, and (iv) Product Variety. In conclusion, overall steps of studies are based on changeover activities in automotive manufacturing. The case study of five manufacturing firms of manufacturing companies has helped to prove the robustness of NVCOT. Thus, the NVCOT can be used as changeover monitoring tool for catering changeover time reduction improvement. � Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2021.
