Companies are looking for new ways to carry out their processes automatically and accurately. Thus, the machines that are part of the process need to be stopped, called setup, so that they are prepared to continue producing other products on the production line. This work was developed with the main objective of showing the effect of reducing the setup time in a television factory, and as specific objectives to present the concept of Fast Tool Change; present the negative effects of a production that has a lengthy setup; punctuate the benefits of reducing setup time in a factory. The methodology used is focused on exploratory research where it was necessary to visit the production line of a 32 ", 42", 50 "and 55" Smart TV board manufacturing company, in order to apply the data collection instruments. To verify the failures resulting from the shutdowns and the problems that are related to the production setup time, quality tools such as Ishikawa Diagram, 5W2H and before and after study flowchart were used. As expected results, the company was able to reduce machine preparation delays, batch delays became minimal.

<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The article presents an analysis of the application of selected quality management methods and tools in order to identify factors affecting downtimes in the production line, illustrated with an example of the automotive industry.</p><p><strong>Methodology/Approach:</strong> The paper contains an analysis of downtimes in the production process using selected methods and tools of quality management. The authors used a combination of tools and methods to carry out the analysis. In this concept, first, the 5WHY method and the Ishikawa diagram were used.</p><p><strong>Findings:</strong> The research results presented in the paper suggest that better results can be achieved by using a set of quality tools instead of one particular tool. The authors found that using a wide range of quality tools can be useful to reduce downtimes on the production line.</p><p><strong>Research limitation/implication:</strong> The major limitation of the paper is that it is based on one case of an organisation from the automotive industry. In the future, it will be necessary to conduct studies in more organisations so as to find out if the same result can be achieved.</p><strong>Originality/Value of paper:</strong> The article is concerned with the use of quality management methods and tools to analyse production line breakdowns. Until present, in subject literature, the causes of downtimes have been analysed without differentiating between planned and unplanned downitmes of the production line.

Superplastic forming (SPF) is well known in aircraft production of Titanium and Aluminium parts. The process technology is commercially interesting for small quantities. The advantage of low upfront cost for the tooling is quickly lost however in conjunction with the longer cycle times of forming under purest SPF conditions. At given production rates typical for the aircraft industry the technology has an economical advantage over conventional, ambient temperature sheet metal forming processes. Compared to established processes the break-even point is at about 400 to 4000 parts/year, depending on the metal alloy and the geometry. Transfer to high volume production as afforded by automotive production of niche products calls for a modified forming process and an optimisation of the production flow. One alternative for a modified process is called “Hot Gas Pressure Forming” (HGPF). This process is very comparable to SPF, but the applied strain rates are much higher than recommended for SPF. HGPF can be applied in combination with a pre-forming operation done by cold or hot forming. The production line which has to be created to establish a constant production flow of outerbody parts like doors, inner and outer, fenders, bonnet and trunklid, inner and outer and roof for a project with an annual production quantity of ~30 to 40 000 cars has been engineered on the basis of the material’s forming behaviour studies, process investigations, cost analysis studies, etc. The elements of the production line like presses, interstockers, transportation , etc have been defined and placed with the help of a production simulation tool to get the best efficiency combined with suitable flexibility.
