Question about this product?

Taking a holistic approach, this book examines changeover/SMED (single minute exchange of die), the conversion of a manufacturing process/machine from running the current product to running the next product. It addresses both the machinery issues and the operational issues, such as costs, waiting times, material movement, documentation, training, and product/component design. Focusing on the operational aspects, it offers readers opportunities for reducing changeover time and cost. The book contains proven methods and practical examples from a variety of industries.
