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 existing setups, shift internal activities to external ones, and implement quick-change fixtures, 5S, and poka-yoke. Develop a future-state plan, confirm outcomes through time studies and metrics, and maintain improvements with standard work, training, and ongoing enhancement practices.
