シングルミニッツ・エクスチェンジ・オブ・ダイ（SMED）

Single-Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) is a lean manufacturing methodology aimed at reducing the time required to changeover production processes. By streamlining setup activities and minimizing downtime, SMED enhances operational efficiency and flexibility, allowing for quicker transitions between different product designs. This approach not only accelerates production cycles but also supports innovation by enabling more frequent experimentation and adaptation in product design.
