Abstract

The relevance of improving safety methods using lean manufacturing tools is due to the fact that in modern conditions of fierce competition, increasing the efficiency of an enterprise is possible only with the introduction of new methods of production organization. The opportunity to reduce resources is provided by lean manufacturing, which is used for economic development, which has a positive impact on the organization of production, as well as reduces a number of problems and reduces production costs. The purpose of the study was to update the direction of practical application of the existing SMED system in the food industry, including the agro-industrial complex. The object of the presented research was the line for packaging and packaging of milk, employees of the dairy industry enterprise. Within the framework of this article, one of the lean manufacturing tools was used - the SMED system, which provides rapid equipment changeover. As a result of the research conducted at the dairy industry enterprise, the SMED system was introduced at the milk packing and packaging site, aimed at reducing the time of setting up or reconfiguring equipment. This system allowed us to take a fresh look at the process of equipment changeover. Thanks to the introduction of this system, the downtime of the packing and packaging line has been reduced, which has made the work more uniform. Due to the simplification of the setup process, production safety has increased, i.e. the number of accidents and injuries at work has decreased. As a result, productivity has significantly increased, the cost of manufactured products has decreased, production efficiency and competitiveness of the organization as a whole have increased. The use of lean production tools and methods wi­thin production enterprises has a number of positive aspects, one of the main ones is to increase the competitiveness of the enterprise
