Description
“SMED for Operators” is a practical guide that simplifies the Single-Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) method, aiming to reduce equipment or product changeover times to less than 10 minutes. Adapted from “A Revolution in Manufacturing: The SMED System,” this book is tailored for frontline production and assembly associates. It explains why SMED is crucial for both companies and employees, outlines the three basic stages of SMED, and dedicates a chapter to each stage. The first chapter serves as an “owner’s manual,” guiding readers on how to maximize their reading experience using margin assists, summaries, and other features. The book is designed for group discussions, with information organized into manageable sections for short sessions. Each chapter includes reflection questions to encourage group dialogue. A Learning Package is also available, which includes a leader’s guide, overhead transparencies, and color slides demonstrating SMED applications in various companies.
