Setup Reduction SMED Coaching

“Send me a video and I will help reduce your setup times”

Reducing setup time is a vital part of most Lean implementations if you want to be able to reduce batch sizes and improve process efficiency. SMED as the name suggests allows you to reduce your setup time to single minutes if implemented well. But getting there can take time and a lot of thought.

Having someone come into your business to provide SMED consulting can be an expensive proposition. Most Lean Consultants worth their salt will charge you thousands of bucks every day; and many will not just want to leap in and improve that setup in the first day if they can drag it out to week or two. So getting your setup reduced can cost you a huge amount of money, however, as the consultant will tell you and no doubt demonstrate for you the potential savings are just so much more.

Many are well worth the investment and will make a huge impact on your business. They should also impart the skills and knowledge that you will need to be able to go ahead and implement what you have learned on your initial SMED implementation throughout your business.

But, coming up with that initial sum of money to pay the consultant is not easy. Neither easy to find nor easy to have approved to spend. We however, offer you a more cost effective way to implement SMED for your process change over.
