What will I learn?
The SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) Course teaches you how to reduce CNC changeover time using straightforward, practical approaches. You will learn SMED principles, map your current processes, shift internal activities to external ones, and implement quick-change tools, 5S organisation, and mistake-proofing techniques. Develop a plan for the improved future state, confirm outcomes through time measurements and performance indicators, and maintain improvements with standard procedures, staff training, and ongoing enhancement practices.
