Quick Changeover (SMED) at the Lean Donut Shop

See how to reduce changeover and setup times by applying SMED (single minute exchange of die) aka "quick changeover" practices. We demonstrate the before and after result of applying SMED/quick changeover at the Lean Donut Shop.

You must know how to shorten changeover times in order to overcome the TWO major problems associated with lengthy changeovers:
1. Lost equipment capacity
2. Over production and big batching

A quick changeover makes your production system more flexible and nimble. You can increase the mix of product without sacrificing equipment capacity.

Learn more about SMED and quick changeovers in our courses at the Lean Smarts Academy:
