What will I learn?
The SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) Course teaches you how to reduce CNC changeover time using straightforward, hands-on techniques. You'll grasp SMED basics, document existing processes, shift internal activities to external ones, and implement fast-change tools, 5S organisation, and mistake-proofing devices. Develop a forward-looking plan, confirm outcomes through timing analyses and performance measures, and maintain improvements via standard procedures, staff training, and ongoing enhancement practices.
