The Implementation of Single Minute Exchange of Die with 5?S in Machining Processes for reduction of Setup Time

Abstract

Nowadays market demand is increasingly time to time and there is no time to waste and also shortage of manpower throughout the world. Reduction in time is direct way to increase the productivity and profit. So there is need to reduce the time by using some new lean methodology. In global industry there is different techniques are used for reduction of time. All of this we use the SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) technique for reduction of time. In this paper we describe that how the SMED technique is used and how it helps to reduce the time and increasing the productivity. The SMED technique is implemented on three mechanical pressesmachines and calculated the setup time before and after implemented SMED.
