Course Description:

'' SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) is a method for rapidly and efficiently converting a process from running the current product to running the next product. SMED is also often referred to a Quick Changeover. The SMED method can, and often is, used in starting up a process and rapidly getting it to running condition with minimum waste. SMED or Single Minute Exchange of Die is a concept that says all changeovers (and startups) can and should take less than 10 minutes� hence the phrase Single Minute. Closely associated is an advanced concept of OTED (One-Touch Exchange of Die), which says changeovers can and should take less than 100 seconds. Think of a racecar pit stop and you’ve got the idea with SMED / Quick Changeover! We have worked with a number of companies who have reduced their setups and changeovers from several hours to 30 minutes or less on the first try using SMED / Quick Changeover. It works perfectly!

Learning Objectives

Apply SMED to critical processes in your value streams, so you can reduce batch sizes, reduce work-in-process inventories, achieve shorter lead times, and thereby reduce product costs (bottom-line $) and increase flexibility to meet changing customer demands.

Program Agenda
3 Days - SMED

The workshop consists of learning the SMED concept via a presentation and an active simulation, then applying the 16-step SMED method to your own processes. A key part of this is properly defining setups and changeovers as the time elapsed between the last unit of good product on your current run to the first unit of good product on your next run.
