Step-by-Step Guide to Quick Changeover (SMED) PPT
This PPT slide, part of the 155-slide Lean - An Introduction to Lean Management PowerPoint presentation, outlines a structured approach to implementing Quick Changeover, commonly referred to as SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Die). This methodology is crucial for organizations aiming to enhance operational efficiency by minimizing downtime during equipment changeovers.
The process begins with the first step, which is to observe the current methodology. This foundational step is essential for understanding existing practices and identifying areas for improvement. Following this, the second step involves separating internal and external activities. This distinction is vital as it allows teams to focus on what can be done while the machine is still running versus what requires a complete stop.
The third step emphasizes converting internal activities into external ones. This transformation is key to reducing the time machines are idle. The fourth step involves streamlining the remaining internal activities, ensuring that any necessary tasks are completed as efficiently as possible.
Steps 5 and 6 focus on refining the process further. Streamlining external activities ensures that all possible efficiencies are realized, while documenting the new procedure solidifies the changes made and provides a reference for future operations.
The final part of the slide introduces a decision point: assessing whether the results are satisfactory. If the outcomes meet expectations, the process concludes. If not, the cycle restarts with a call to "Do it all Again!" This iterative approach fosters continuous improvement, encouraging teams to refine their processes until optimal performance is achieved.
Overall, this slide serves as a practical guide for organizations looking to implement SMED, emphasizing observation, separation, conversion, and continuous evaluation as key components of the changeover process.
