About Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) / Quick Change-Over Training


Who is Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) / Quick Change-Over Training for?

Crescent City

Excellent choice! Evansville Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) / Quick Change-Over Training occurs in an city whose nickname Crescent City comes from being positioned on an Ohio River oxbow. Furs were one of the earliest commercial items which expanded into coal mining and hardwood furniture thanks to river trade and railroads including a bridge across the Ohio River. Manufacturing expanded into the automotive and refrigeration industries. Highway 41 was built connecting Evansville to Chicago and Miami. WWII spurred ship, bullet, and P47 aircraft production laying a foundation for the city to remain strong in automotive, appliance, and steel manufacturing. Meanwhile, Evansville developed a healthy cultural side with many entertainment venues including festivals and museums to try after training. Of these, the Mesker Park Zoo and Botanical Gardens, and USS LST Ship Memorial are most visited. Spelunking is also popular thanks to Indiana Caverns.
