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.

City of Trees - Farm-to-Fork Capital

Excellent choice! Sacramento is a major producer of almonds, has great burgers, receives minimal snow, and is 2 hours from Lake Tahoe. The city lies at the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers. The district of Old Sacramento harkens back to the city's Gold Rush era, with wooden sidewalks and wagon rides. As a result of the Gold Rush, Sacramento became a major commercial center and distribution point for Northern California. Since then, it remains in growth mode with developing financial, educational, and medical resources.
