Record current state Setup sequence
Capture the full changeover, including walking, waiting, tools, checks, and interruptions.
Guide
Setup reduction starts by watching the changeover, not debating it.
Changeovers include hidden walking, waiting, tool search, checks, and sequence variation. Video gives the team a shared record before they choose the future-state method.

Guide summary
The better setup method has to become the controlled method.
If improvement stops at the workshop wall, the old setup returns. Swift Ops connects improvement evidence to document control and training impact.
Compare methods Evidence review
Review sequence, timing, role split, parallel work, and avoidable motion.
Create candidate Future state
Document the improved sequence as a reviewable proposed revision.
Release and train Sustainment
Approved setup changes can update instructions and mark linked training for review.
Changeover workflow
Keep the approved setup method in use.
A future-state map is not enough. The approved method has to reach the instruction and training system.
Observe
Capture the real changeover.
Record from start to first good part or the operational equivalent.
Improve
Build the future-state candidate.
Use evidence to decide what moves, what changes, and what checks remain.
Control
Release the approved method.
Route the new setup sequence through document control before training changes.
Changeover proof
What to look for in your changeover video.
Use Improve to review the sequence and propose changes. Use Control to approve and release the updated instruction.
| Changeover pain | Video evidence | Swift Ops output | Control point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long setup | Current sequence | Method comparison | Improvement review |
| Inconsistent setup | Different operator methods | Future-state candidate | Document approval |
| Old habits return | Training performance | Assessment record | Certify decision |
Start with a changeover you want to improve.
If the wasted time is visible, Swift Ops can help turn it into a reviewed future-state method.
