| dc.description.abstract | High cycle time is one of most common downtime in molding processes, affecting the output and the efficiency of the area. Equipment and tool condition are key to sustain a proper cycle time. This project aimed to reduce a 10% of the high cycle time
of the three top offenders of a BMC molding process. For three months, a detailed equipment evaluation was completed to identify machine conditions and how they affected the molding process. Once the corrections in the equipment were completed, there was a reduction in downtime of the top three offenders of 67%, 27% and 81%, respectively with regards to high cycle time.
