This document outlines the 5 steps to implement SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) for quick changeovers:
1. Develop a one-step setup implementation team.
2. Separate internal and external setup operations to distinguish operations that can be done while the machine is running.
3. Convert internal setup operations to external where possible through techniques like mechanization and use of jigs.
4. Develop a one-step setup training plan to teach workers the new changeover process.
5. Implement the one-step setup and verify the standardized process through reduced changeover times.
