| Description | A Revolution in Manufacturing: The SMED System. SMED is short for "Single Minute Exchange of Die" The "single" here means a single digit number of minutes-less than ten! The SMED approach is simple and universal. It works in companies all over the world. Although it was first used in manufacturing, the basic principles of SMED have been used to reduce set-up and turnaround time also in all types of assembly and service industries, from process and packaging plants to airlines. SMED or quick changeover technique is the single most powerful tool for JIT production. Written by the industrial engineer who developed SMED for Toyota, this book provides complete and detailed instructions for transforming a manufacturing environment to speed up production and make small lot inventories feasible. Includes 12 chapter length case studies. (Also available in Spanish - call for details) |
