	Single Minute Exchange of Dies
		The SMED system is a simple but powerful process which can help anyone doing any kind of work.
		SMED makes it possible to respond quickly to fluctuations in demand, and it creates the necessary conditions for lead time reductions.
		To sum up, SMED was born in a period of 19 years as a result of examining closely the theoretical and practical aspects of setup improvement.

	SMED/Quick Changeover
		SMED is the term used to represent the Single Minute Exchange of Die or setup time that can be counted in a single digit of minutes.
		SMED and quick changeover are the practice of reducing the time it takes to change a line or machine from running one product to the next.
		Effective SMED programs identify and separate the changeover process into key operations – External Setup involves operations that can be done while the machine is running and before the changeover process begins, Internal Setup are those that must take place when the equipment is stopped.

	SMED
		SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Dies), Set-up or changeover reduction has been an important element of lean thinking for a number of years.
		SMED is just one technique used to help reduce changeover time.
		SMED / Changeover reduction simply refers to attempts to reduce the time taken to carry out the changeover process.

	SMED, the tool for Quick changeovers
		The SMED method can, and often is, used in starting up a process and rapidly getting it to running condition with minimum waste.
		SMED or Single Minute Exchange of Die is a concept that says all changeovers (and startups) can and should take less than 10 minutes...
		SMED can be applied to critical processes in your value streams to reduce batch sizes, reduce work-in-process inventories, achieve shorter lead times, and thereby reduce product costs (bottom-line $) and increase flexibility to meet changing customer demands.

		Lean thinking has targeted setup and changeover times for many years, SMED is an idea and tool that helps reduce your setup and tooling times.
		Setup is the time to change the tooling and parts from one production run to another, Change Over is the time from the completion of one product run to the next product run achieving full effective output.
		Shigeo did not claim that all changeovers should be done in one minute but rather they should not take longer than 10 minutes i.e.

	Single-Minute Exchange of Die (SMED)
		The term "single-minute exchange of die" (SMED) is misleading because it applies to anything, not only machine tools that use actual die.
		Although Dr. Shigeo Shingo is SMED's best-known exponent, SMED is an American invention.
		This was a valuable contribution because, at the time, there was a false economy paradigm that called for maximization of tool life even at the cost of productivity.

		Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) is a cornerstone of lean manufacturing and can help to reduce setup time and improve productivity enabling smaller batch sizes to be produced whilst reducing lead time.
		Massive gains have been achieved by using the SMED system and this was clearly illustrated in 1982 at Toyota, when the die punch set up time in the cold-forging process was reduced over a three-month period from one hour and forty minutes to three minutes.

	How to do SMED
		In SMED, the CHANGEOVER TIME is the elapsed time between finishing the last part of the previous batch, and finishing the first one of the next batch at full production speed.
		If you have to run the first few slowly, or make minor adjustments to get the quality right, then that counts as part of the changeover time.
