Setup Reduction Training

Setup reduction training teaches participants how to leverage the principles of Single-Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) to significantly reduce or eliminate changeover times. SMED empowers companies to create low- or no-cost solutions for faster changeovers, enabling them to meet customer demands for high-quality, low-cost products with quicker delivery times—all without the need for excess inventory.

In this course, you’ll learn the core concepts of setup time reduction and SMED, followed by a hands-on simulation where you’ll apply the changeover improvement process. By the end of the training, you’ll see a tangible reduction in setup times, decreased costs, and an increase in machine capacity.
