Changeover

In manufacturing, changeovers are also called "changeover times", which is the time and process it takes to convert a machine from making one product, to a different product. Its the time between one product being finished, and a new product beginning. Changeover times are very versatile, ranging from minutes to months. Changeover happens where time and processes take place to remove old products and materials from the manufacturing line. Then time is taken to set up new materials and equipment for the new product the manufacturing facility is changing over to. Adjustments are then done after the new equipment is started to ensure the new product is being properly assembled.
