A systematic approach is essential for modeling and determination of optimum operating conditions which helps in process
quality improvement. Moreover it attempts to provide the user with flexibility to adopt appropriate techniques based on their
inherent potential. The designed solutions considering desired production requirements for intended studies can be helpful in
increasing the productivity. It can be achieved by adopting lean principles and standardized processes which thereby leading to
fulfillment of customer needs. The present study encompasses the different techniques for a case of set-up time reduction of
conveyor pulley manufacturing. Five different techniques and a specific Mechatronics approach are considered.
