Publisher Comments:

Written by the industrial engineer who developed SMED (single-minute exchange of die) for Toyota, A Revolution in Manufacturing provides a full overview of this powerful "just in time" production tool. It offers the most complete and detailed instructions available anywhere for transforming a manufacturing environment in ways that will speed up production and make small lot inventories feasible. The author delves into both the theory and practice of the SMED system, explaining fundamentals as well as techniques for applying SMED. The critically acclaimed text is supported with hundreds of illustrations and photographs, as well as twelve chapter-length case studies. ????

Synopsis:

SMED is short for "Single-Minute Exchange of Die." The "single" here means a single-digit number of minutes-less than ten! The SMED approach is simple, universal and works in companies all over the world. Although it was first used in die manufacturing, the basic principles of SMED have been used to reduce setup and turnaround time in all types of assembly and service industries, from process and packaging plants to airlines. SMED, or quick changeover, is the single most powerful tool for JIT production. Written by the industrial engineer who developed SMED for Toyota, this book provides complete and detailed instructions for transforming a manufacturing environment to speed up production and make small-lot inventories feasible. Includes 12 chapterlength case studies.
