INTRODUCTION
This course is intended to provide powerful knowledge to the technical and operations staff to make their workplaces more productive, simpler and satisfying. It is about how to do equipment, product or model change in a shortest time possible.
SMED is critical for any company that wants to save cost of manufacturing, since they make it possible to switch models easily. The approach used is known as SMED which is “Single-Minute Exchange of Die”. SMED has been used to reduce changeover time from 3 hours to less than 30 minutes.
This course is suitable to reduce set up time for any machine eg. Moulding machines, press machines, stamping machines, SMT machines, auto insertion machines, packaging machines, glove dipping machines and others.
