The process of adding value is necessary to obtain this advantage; therefore using a coherent production system and its tools becomes a key skill. Since the set time is the main reason for the production break time, a short set time is always desirable. The Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) as proposed by Shingo is a tool that aims to reduce overtime setting, but does not work when used alone. SMED can be used effectively with the help of additional tools such as FMRS (Finish, Merge, Reduce and Simplify). This paper describes the process of planning and implementing SMED and other useful tools. It is based on a collaborative approach that allows for a gradual reduction in machine set-up time associated with an ongoing continuity program. Keywords: SMED, Lean Manufacturing, Time study, 5S technique. Introduction: In a time of globalization, manufacturing industries need to increase their flexibility in production through smaller batch sizes. However, this will lead to a significant increase during setup. Therefore, faster setup procedures involving smaller batch sizes and greater flexibility are required for hours. Therefore, the ability to perform quick setup processes is widely recognized as a necessary requirement for flexibility and small batch production. Lean Production aims to systematically identify and eliminate waste through continuous development, facilitating the flexibility and competitiveness of organizations. Highly dependent production is a production practice that considers the use of resources from any policy other than the value of the customer ultimately as a waste, and thus the goal of elimination. Working from the perspective of a customer using a product or service price is Journal of University of Shanghai for Science and Technology ISSN: 1007-6735 Volume 23, Issue 12, December - 2021 Page-20
