Shigeo Shingo said that between 19, average setup times he has dealt with have reduced to 2.5% of the time originally required a 40 times improvement. Internal setup – can only be performed when the machine is downĮxternal setup – can be performed when the machine is running The key to success is to move as many setup tasks from internal setup to external setup, then reduce the time needed to complete the internal tasks. He was able to shorten set-up times from 1 to 2 hours (or even half a day) per each exchange of dies to only a few minutes each, allowing an organization to run smaller batches and align more closely to customer demand. Although not every setup can literally be completed in single-digit minutes, this is the goal, and it can be achieved in a high percentage of cases.ĭeveloped by Shigeo Shingo to reduce the set-up time (change of dies) of pressing machines. The goal is to reduce the setup time from hours down to less than 10 minutes (9 minutes or less, thus the single minute concept). Abbreviation for Single Minute Exchange of Dies, which is a process of reducing changeover (setup) time by classifying elements as internal or external to a machine’s operating time and then converting the internal elements so they can be done externally (while the machine continues to operate).
