Excellent book about the concept and implementation of SMED,
By A Customer
This review is from: Revolution in Manufacturing: Single-minute Exchange of Die System (Hardcover)
An excellent book written by the developer of SMED (Shigeo Shingo). The book explains the SMED system from theory to implementation. The book is the best publication I have read concerning this subject. I definately recommend this to any company that requires chngeovers to their plant. This can really help to reduce the time of changeovers. This is essential in achieving JIT production.

This review is from: Revolution in Manufacturing: Single-minute Exchange of Die System (Hardcover)
THE book on Changeover reduction! Some of the references are a little dated now but for an introduction to the subject who better to read than the developer himself!

A really USEFUL book...,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Revolution in Manufacturing: Single-minute Exchange of Die System (Hardcover)
Before reading this book, i had no certain opinions about SMED system. There was a lack of knowledge and i could not apply this technique properly in the factory which I am working for. Now, i am applying SMED technique and decreasing setup times sharply even not under ten minutes. This book opens doors for its reader. Pay money and take it. !

Best Set Up Time Reduction Manual,
By Michael J Leahy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Revolution in Manufacturing: Single-minute Exchange of Die System (Hardcover)
This book does an excellent job of explaining how manufacturing setup times can be drastically reduced, including many useful examples. Reducing setup times is critical in the effort to implement the extraordinarily efficient Toyota Production System.The text is much clearer than "Kaizen For Quick Changeover" by Sekine and Arai. This book deals with setup time reductions for loosely toleranced components or assemblies, and does not deal specifically with tightly toleranced parts. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:

Very good book on Set Up Time Reduction,
By F. H. Van Saarloos - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Revolution in Manufacturing: Single-minute Exchange of Die System (Hardcover)
Very good book if your interested to reduce setup / changeover times. The book is very easy to read although in some cases it keeps repeating itself. When you think logical you could already figure out 75% on how to improve changeover before reading the book, but for the last 25% this book is an absolute must. A lot of the examples are car manufacturing related, but this I not a problem because the writer tries to give you the tools on how SMED can be reached, regardless which industry you are working in.
