The article is devoted to the description of the application of a systems approach with the aim of improving the process of setting-up the equipment of cable manufacturing, namely, the extrusion line. First, a risk-based approach was used to identify the bottlenecks of the setting-up process using the FMEA methodology. Secondly, the most critical operations of the setting-up process were considered in terms of measurement authenticity. In this context, the analysis of the stability of the measuring process, an analysis of the bias linearity and an analysis of repeatability and reproducibility were carried out. Using the measurement system analysis, it was managed to reveal four main factors influencing the variation of the measuring process and recommendations were made to improve each of them. Corrective actions have been developed, after the implementation of which the level of general repeatability and reproducibility of the measurement process has passed into the category of acceptable. Thus, applying the principles of a systematic approach and using the tools recommended by IATF 16949 “Measurement system analysis” and “Potential failure mode and effects analysis”, we managed to achieve a new level of quality of the process setting-up an cable manufacturing, reduce the risk level of the process and minimize costs.
