Your team will become competent and have a thorough understanding of Shigeo Shingo's single minute exchange of die - SMED- methodology in only 2 days. In addition to the SMED model, we will teach you our crucial first stage that we have added to the four (4) SMED stages. Adding this step helps you increase success implementing the other stages. We also provide other tools to reduce setup / changeover times through improved production scheduling.
