Quick Changeover (SMED)

A practical course on single-minute exchange of die (SMED) for production engineers, maintenance technicians, setters and supervisors in factories, packaging lines, process plants and workshops. Learn to measure and film a changeover, separate internal and external work, convert and streamline what remains, run a SMED workshop with isolation and lockout kept in place, and handle cleaning and allergen changeovers. It ends with standardising the new method, measuring it, and using the saved time in OEE and scheduling; it does not award a belt or certificate.
