Changeover Management (SMED)

Reduce changeover time and recover lost production capacity.

The Problem

Changeover durations are inconsistent, untracked, and rarely optimized. Lost time during product changeovers is one of the largest avoidable OEE losses in high-mix manufacturing.

Our Approach

Digital changeover management that sequences and times every changeover step, captures actual vs target duration, and generates improvement data to drive SMED projects.

Expected Outcome

Reduce average changeover time by 20–40%, standardize execution across operators, and recover significant lost production capacity.

What's Included

Changeover step sequencing and digital checklists
Actual vs target changeover time tracking
Internal and external step separation (SMED methodology)
Changeover time trend analysis and comparison
Operator guidance on mobile or panel display
Integration with production schedule for pre-staging
