SMED Analysis

Blokss Operational service and Support would gladly advise you by using a SMED analysis about the optimization of your production process. A SMED analysis is useful in finding possibilities to optimize cleaning times and change-over time.

SMED – invented by Shigeo Shingo of Toyota – stands for “Single Minute Exchange of Die” and belongs to the method of LEAN.

SMED aims at reducing machine change-over and cleaning times to decrease waiting times.
Within this method, there are 7 easy to understand steps:

• Observing the current process.
• Seperating external and internal change-over activities. Internal activities can only be executed when the system is stopped, while external activities can be executed when the machines are running.
• Converting internal activities to external activities.
• Streamlining internal activities; simplify if possible
• Streamlining external activities
• Documenting the new process and possible future improvement points.
• Repeating this method.
  

With a SMED analysis, Blokss always first investigates the bottleneck in the production process. By identifying and improving the bottleneck, efficiency and cost reduction are within reach.
