Quick Changeover Concepts Applied provides a comprehensive overview of changeovers from a strategic, tactical, and operational perspective. It outlines strategies that can help readers shorten internal set-up steps through the physical analysis of machine elements. The method presented is the result of a synthesis of the classic Shingo SMED methodology along with modern engineering techniques. The book redefines set-up and set-up time and details a step-by-step method for developing quick changeover methods in a manner where changes can be realized with minimal spending.
