About Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) / Quick Change-Over Training
Who is Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) / Quick Change-Over Training for?
Single Minute Exchange of Dies might sound limited in its scope. However, while the technique was born in sheet metal stamping operations, its lessons have wider appeal. Generally, SMED deals with process changeovers to switch from manufacturing one part design to another. There was a time when massive dies used by automotive manufacturers required days to change. In this extreme example, large downtime cost necessitated improvement giving birth to faster, single-minute, and even one-touch exchange of dies. Since the lessons of faster process change-over can be applied to any process which switches over to run more than one part design, if you have a process like this, then SMED Training is for you. In our course, Evansville students learn:
Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) / Quick Change-Over Training Course Overview:
SMED training describes Single Minute Exchange of Dies - how Evansville students can increase profit by decreasing process changeover-related downtime. The faster you can set up a new part to be machined, or change over to a completely different part can have big impact on operational efficiency. So, students learn how to study their existing change-over process and speed it up using the 8 traditional techniques:
| Segregating external setups from internal. | ||
| Converting internal steps to external. | ||
| Using standardized function. | ||
| Giving preference to clamps over fasteners. | ||
| Using intermediate jigs. | ||
| Breaking sequential tasks into parallel tasks. SMED is essentially a project management tool in which Gantt Charts can be helpful. | ||
| Eliminating the need for adjustments each of which are essentially rework operations. | ||
| Evolve towards mechanization. |

Evansville
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.

 Lauren H. Engineer Electronics I strongly recommend MBBC's 5S class to others. |
 Ricky H. Sr. Product Specialist Materials FMEA training via video conference was excellent with great real world examples. Material and format kept me engaged. The class was more than I expected. I (also) liked Measurement System Analysis training even though I was somewhat familiar with Gage R&R, I learned new techniques that can help me visualize the data quicker / easier. There were also areas where I was able to ask questions more applicable to my new role in this new company. Process Control training was informative and engaging. IATF training was excellent. Instructor was able to answer all of my questions and go above and beyond in assessing my own documentation. I now have not only a better understand of the subject, but I feel confident in the documents we send to our customers |
