Team Beliefs
 Safety comes first
 Quality and superior customer satisfaction is our
ultimate goal
 People are our most valued resource
 Blameless environment
 Continuous improvement is a way of life
 Teamwork (customer, supplier, associates)
 Integrity is never compromised
 We manage by facts (with data)

What is SMED?
SMED stands for:
Single Minute Exchange of Die
?
Ideally, set-up time should be
anything less than 10 minutes …
Decreased set-up time;



reduces the need for inventory,
provides more flexibility and capacity,
enables us to better serve our customer!

Benefits of Quick Changeover
Less adjustments means less chance for errors
Elimination of trial processing reduces material waste
Preparation of operating conditions in advance helps stabilize
product quality
Increases scheduling flexibility/capacity
Reduces need for on-hand inventory
Improved service levels for customers
Smaller runs means less likelihood of large scale defect
problems in inventory

Set-up Time
Shigeo Shingo (wrote the book on SMED…)
believed that:
any set-up time
can be reduced
by 59/60ths!
freeleansite.com
Set-up Time
There are two types of setup time:
Internal Set-up:
Those activities that must be performed while the
machine is shut down. (Work content done in
addition to Machine Time.)
Example: Removing dies and tooling
External Set-up:
Those activities that are performed while the
machine is operating.
Example: Preparing tooling for the next set-up
freeleansite.com
Set-up Reduction Process
1.
Observe and document the current set-up.
2.
Separate Internal and External elements.
3.
Improve each element.
4.
Observe and document the new set-up process.
5.
Standardize the new set-up procedure.
6.
Celebrate your success!!
freeleansite.com
Observe and Document the Current Set Up
A. Select a specific set-up for improvement
B. Identify a set-up “kaizen” team.
C. Observe the set-up process:

Video Record the set-up process

Complete the Set-up Operations Analysis
chart (before Kaizen).
D. Prepare a Pareto chart for each time category.
freeleansite.com
Record and Recommend
During this phase we:
Observe and document the existing set-up procedure
using
Time Observation and Video Recording techniques
- Analyze all work efforts
- Identify short-term solutions that can be
implemented with procedural changes, modifications to
existing fixtures and minor investment in tooling
Video Recording Tips
 Collect background data
 Select regular production “Parts”
 Determine equipment and operation
 Prepare/Evaluate site
 Where does operator stand?
 Where is the best position for the camera?
 Is there adequate lighting?
 Narrate
 Describe what is happening when the
operator blocks the camera or leaves
the area.
Analyze the
Time Observation & Video
 Review Time Observation and Video
with the team
 Identify opportunities
 Internal vs. External
 Value Added Vs Non-Value Added
 Normal vs. Abnormal
 Seven Types of Waste
 Automatic, Manual, Walking,
 and Waiting times
 Solicit ideas for countermeasures /
improvements

Separate the Elements
Internal:
Those activities that must be performed while
the machine is shut down.
Example: Removing dies and tooling
External:
Those activities that are performed while the
machine is operating.
Example: Acquire fixture/tools for next set-up
Both types of actions must be separated. Once the machine is
stopped, the associate should never depart to perform any part of
the external set up.

Develop Improvement Plan
5S +1 (6S) discipline is the key to quick changeover!
Every minute spent
looking for tools,
fixtures, drawings, dies,
jigs or other materials
adds to the set-up time.
A strong 5S foundation, with a ‘point-of-use’ (POU)
methodology, will ensure that all required materials
are in place when needed, are clean, and in working
condition.

Remember the ‘Wastes’ ?

Develop Improvement Plan
Specifically:
A. Convert as much of the internal set
up to the external set up.
B. Eliminate or reduce the internal and
external set up.
C. Eliminate the adjustment process.
Ultimate Goal: Eliminate Set-up!

Steps: Reduce internal work gradually –

Employ Improvement Initiatives
Once as much of the internal set-up has
been converted to external set-up and
waste has been eliminated:
– standardize the external set-up
actions
– utilize quick fasteners
– use supplementary tools – at the
‘point of use’ (POU)
freeleansite.com
Employ Improvement Initiatives
Developing the Improvement Plan:
•
What must be done while the machine is
shut down?

What can be done while the machine is
running?

Challenge every element in the set-up !

Establish a sound 6S (5S+1) foundation.
freeleansite.com
Improvement Checklist – an example
 Station tools, jigs, dies, etc. near the machine. (POU)
 Assure that all jigs, gauges, dies, tools, etc. function before
the set-up begins.
 Perform as many External elements as possible prior to the
set-up.
 Two people working together may reduce net set-up time
 Use functional clamps: One turn/ One motion
 Use visual control to eliminate adjustments.
freeleansite.com
Application Best Practices
1) Make minor modification to the
existing fixtures.
2) Implement Point-of-Use (POU) techniques.
3) Identify additional tooling to remove attachment
from internal to external.
4) Adopt standardized tooling.
5) Document time savings.
Application Best Practices - Continued
For example:
 Slots in fixture and T-Bolts reduce
attachment time.
 A new part holder reduced the time required to
load and unload parts to fixture. Swing hook
eliminated the need to remove nut from bolt.
 Extra set slides allow detach to be completed on
external time.
Other ideas
1.
Quick Changeover begins and ends with the 5S’s.
2.
Change the Internal set-up into External, then improve
the remaining Internal set-up time.
3.
Bolts are our Enemies.
4.
If you have to use your hands make sure your feet stay
put.
5.
Don’t rely on Special Fine-tuning skills.
6.
Standards are standard: they are NOT flexible.
7.
Standardize all SMED Operations
freeleansite.com
Ideas
The die heights of a punch press or molding machine can be
standardized by using the liner (spacer) so that stroke adjustment
will be unnecessary.

Ideas
Examples of Quick
Fasteners
Usually a bolt is the most
popular fastening tool.
But because a bolt fastens
at the final turning of the
nut can loosen at the first
turn, a convenient
fastening tool that would
allow only a single turning
of the nut should be
devised.

Ideas
For example:
 A slide clamp reduced the time required to load and unload parts to fixture.
 2 hold-down clamps eliminated the need to tape parts during a glue-up operation.
 Set slide allows quick (temporary) alignment of 2 parts.
Document the New Set-up
A. List each element on the Set-up
Operations Standard Chart (after Kaizen)
B. Video tape the new set-up procedure.
C. Record the set-up time for each element
D. Note areas for future improvement.

Standardize the New Procedure
The Set-up Operations Standard chart will
become the basis for the new set-up
procedure.
Prepare the appropriate detail and work
instructions that will be included on the Setup Operations Standard chart.
Assure that all appropriate personnel are
trained in the new procedure.
