SMED Simulation

The document outlines a simulation to teach the 5 steps of SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Dies) using a simple machine model, with the purpose being to simulate die changeovers; the simulation requires at least 3 participants over 2-3 hours and provides a procedure and components needed to conduct the simulation which involves measuring current changeover times and then identifying ways to reduce changeover times through the 5 steps of SMED.

B. 1 wood crossbar: 11 x 1 inches I. 1 technical measuring set: 6 pieces
C. 1wood square die A: 3 x 1-1/7 inches J. 1 flare nut wrench: 5 pieces
D. 1 wood square die B: 2 x 1-1/7 inches L. 2 thread rods: 6 in - 3/8 inches
E. 1 wood square block: 1 x 1-1/7 inches M. 4 wing nuts: 3/8 inches

G. 1 t-handle screw: 1/4 in - 20 x 2 inches O. 8 flat washers in different sizes
Procedure
a. Preparation
Have a chronometer for time measurements
Have a flipchart and post-its to track results during
each iteration and include key notes during the
simulation
Have the tools over a table
Procedure
b. Initial setup
Bar

Procedure
c. Alignment requirements

5mm

Requirement: 5 mm
Rules of the simulation
d. Allocate roles to participants
The simulation must have at least 3 participants with the following functions:

1 operator 1 time keeper/flip chart person


1 quality controller 1 video recording
1 material handler

e. Define goals for each step (iterations)


In the end of each iteration the group creates suggestions for improvement
and evaluation of the cost/benefit.
SMED simulation steps
1: Measure the actual situation
2: Separate internal and external events
2: Convert internal to external events
3: Reduce internal events
4: Reduce external events
