Phase 1: System Analysis.
- Planning and Preparation
- Activity Analysis - Internal and External conditions have not yet been distinguished
- Function Analysis - Separate the Internal activities of the Setup from the External ones

The Lean Production Toolbox
Kummerk USA offers SMED advisory, SMED workshops and we also distribute SMED Software.
With AviX SMED software, the Shigeo Shingo methodology which was first published in the West in 1985, today it is widely used by companies to reduce not only setup times on Manufacturing production lines but also setup times, start, end of shift or preparation prior to the production of products or services. Avix SMED is applied in diverses industries as Manufacturing, Service, Restaurant and Hotel Industries
Standardize setup times and produce more with the same resources!
Standardizing start, end-of-shift, or setup activities results in less production downtime and higher productivity.
Gain greater control and improve visualization of production processes with AviX SMED.
Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) is a method
designed to
Use Kummerk AviX SMED to perform powerful SMED analysis for products and processes in a practical and simple way.
AviX SMED methodology is to study your operations or the shop floor conditions in great detail converting the maximum internal setup operations to prepare them before are demanded or while in production as possible, this is while idle-work is occuring.
done by a cross-functional team of subject matter that thoroughly analyzes tasks, operations or manufacturing processes.
The SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) methodology, developed by Shingo (1985), was developed in order to reduce and simplify the setup time during change-over.
SMED, which is also a Japanese process-based innovation, makes it possible to respond to fluctuations in demand and results in lead time reductions, while also eliminating wastefulness during change-over and diminishing lot sizes (Shingo, 1985; Womack and Jones, 1998).
If effectively used throughout the product or service life cycle, it will result in significant improvements in process-lead-time, reduce cost, eliminate wastefulness and non-added value activities.
The primary objective of an SMED study is to improve cycle-time.
For Productivity, to improve process cycle-time while increase manufacturing productivity.
For Production Lots, the objective is to allow to improve the reducction of lot sizes.
For Setup Times, the objective is to accomplish setup times in less than ten minutes, i.e. a number
of minutes expressed by a single digit.
Other Objectives of SMED:
Avoid late and therefore expensive changes by revealing weaknesses in your process and performing an AviX SMED analysis. This will also allow you to control your process and avoid repeating errors prior to problem documentation and mitigation. The result is reduced lead-time, short set-up times, and therefore higher productivity.
We will show you how you can improve your operation with AviX
I Want to Know MoreAVIX SMED gives the user a clear and visual overview of the work as well as the time and utilization degree.
Use AviX SMED to perform powerful process analysis for maintenance and production in an easy and simple way.
AVIX SMED provides a very intuitive approach to the SMED principle within lean production, i.e. no special skills are required.
Reports for set-up- & maintenance instructions can easily be printed with or without images, or presented from AVIX Shop Floor Viewer.
