SMED Quick Changeover - Essence of SMED - Simple Classroom Demo

SMED - Quick Changeover or QCO. Setup Time Reduction. LEAN SMED. The Essence of SMED or Set up Time Reduction is brought out by a simple classroom demonstration using example from everyday life. We find that such simple examples enable people from all backgrounds to capture the essence of concepts and techniques. SMED is a powerful tool to go LEAN OR Agile. Lean Manufacturing relies on SMED to enable increase in variety without increasing costs.
Aishwarya Bote, Shruti Jindal, Dr S Gondhalekar, with camera by Akash Tiwari and editing by Tanvi Thakkar,. provide a neat demonstration using simple everyday life examples. SMED is really a 'way of thinking', which can greatly enhance effectiveness when applied in any area of life. It is easy to implement and doesn't need financial investment. The genius behind the creation of SMED was Shigeo Shingo. This technique transforms the capability of an equipment to enable high variety production while lowering costs simultaneously. You can see the effect of SMED on lowering EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) and therefore the costs. Seeing this video in conjunction with the video on EOQ made by the same team will be beneficial.
This video was made by Aishwarya Bote and Shruti jindal and published on 10 April 2018 in
loving memory of Dr Ms Vasundhara Gondhalekar by all the contributors.

[@hinalthakkar]

Amused by seeing the video because it explained SMED in such simple terms. :D

[@DrG720214]

Thank you. Simplicity is indeed the heart of deep understanding.

[@NishitGosar]

Dr G's lecture and this video helped me realise that having a habit of saving even a few minutes at a time, can add up in the long run. Previously, before the commencement of any lecture, I used to chit-chat with my friends, be on my phone and waste time until the Professor showed up. Only after the Professor had entered, I would take my books/laptop out from the bag. But now, I come to the class before time, keep everything ready and also do a final revision of the previous lecture, so as to be prepared for whatever the Professor is going to teach next. Also, once I get home, I not only revise whatever was thought that day, but also study and prepare for the lectures on the next day. This small change has made learning new concepts so much easier. It also reduces the time it takes for me to prepare for any tests/exams, as the concepts have already been revised earlier. I would try to implement more SMED methods in my daily life and make my life more efficient. I will comment again if I come up with something interesting.

[@DrG720214]

Nishit Gosar - Good one Nishit. When you take out books after professor enters, you inadvertantly send out a signal that you are not interested. When you are ready beforehand, you send a signal that I am interested.

[@nefivedak5464]

Understanding from simple examples makes learning so much easier. Thank you sir!

[@bhavyamalik5004]

I like the way Dr. G and his students practically demonstrated this simple yet very useful concept of SMED. As travelling in Mumbai is a big task in itself, implementing SMED would save my precious time. I'll iron my clothes, put all the necessary things on my table a night before so that I don't forget them in the hostel and end up wasting my time.

[@bhavyamalik5004]

Also I would make a check list of items that I would need for traveling from one place to another which includes important documents, phone, laptop, clothes etc so that I'm sure that I didn't forget anything at home.

[@adhishthaparmar2502]

This video has also helped me realise how I have implemented SMED without even realising it. It helped make things easier for my mom and all of us. I had noticed that there is an everyday dilemma where mom breaks her head over trying to decide what food to prepare the next day, be it tiffin for us, lunch at home or the evening snack, ultimately resulting into a repetition of things and pressure on mom to cater to everyone's demands and rushing to the market at the end moment. What I did was, I prepared a comprehensive list of every single dish that is cooked by mom and divided them into breakfast, lunch/dinner, snack, tiffin. Each of the dish was written on a small coloured sticky note (colour of each category being different) and stuck these sticky notes in a diary under different headers. Now all mom has to do is take 15 mins out of her Sunday evening and choose from among these sticky notes the various dishes she wants to prepare during the week. She puts them up on the planner on refrigerator. It not only ensures that we eat variety(in terms of dishes as well as nutrients) but also she can plan in advance watever groceries,veggies or fruits need to be bought and she can now divert her time to reading her favourite books and pursuing her hobbies🙂 I keep adding to the list of food as and when I come across new things and we are all at peace now ✌️

[@DrG720214]

adhishtha parmar - Excellent. Much appreciated. Well thought out implementation.

[@adhishthaparmar2502]

Shrinivas Gondhalekar thank you once again sir.

[@pratikshenoy5875]

Great video sir!

[@morepratik21]

Hello Sir. Thank you so much for the video. It explained SMED in a very simple way. After watching this, I realized that SMED is something which I apply in my daily life: For example- While I was at home in Nashik, my morning routine used to be very lazy and lengthy work. But since I moved to Mumbai, I had to cut short this time. So now when I get up I put the milk on the induction for boiling and go to the washroom so it gets boiled till the time I finish. After that I switch ON the geyser and start the tap to fill the bucket and simultaneously start brushing my teeth so the time I finish brushing, my bucket is filled and immediately start bathing. This saves my 15 minutes and also saves time for other people in the house.

[@aishwaryapradeep4341]

This concept makes me think of all the possible operations and activities in daily life where SMED could be applied. So much time would be saved!

[@jayanaubale3181]

SMED is a concept which has been used since ages in different activities. It just that common man don't know its definition. For example while preparing the Maharashtrian sweet called 'besnachi Vadi' the wooden die is used to shape the vadi. It's an example of SMED. This video has not only described about usefulness of SMED but also made us curious to explore in what all activities we can apply this principle.Thnq for the video Aishwarya, shruti and Dr. G:)

[@DrG720214]

Jayana Ubale - Really appreciated your saying thank you to Aushwarya and Shruti. They played as big a role as I did in making the video happen.

[@ruchabindu]

A fine example of learning bigger things through simpler things! We probably waste a lot of time in doing pitiful things and don't even realize...but this video sure does make one realize!

[@DrG720214]

Rucha Bindu - Good point. Let us get into implementation.

[@DrG720214]

Sakshi Balani... Preparation the night before is one of the finest applications of SMED. I do it too. It works beautifully.

[@uditgupta8544]

Sir i had also done it.I had checked each amd everything from notebooks,pen,umbrella,,books and also wether i had done all homework being given.Thans for making us realising that how we can apply smed in our day to day life

[@sakshibalani1964]

Thankyou sir.

[@ankitapalande2017]

So one of the basic applications is to do as much prep work as possible while the machine is running so when the machine has stopped producing product you can quickly get it going again! This video was a simple yet effective demonstration of SMED. Thank you, sir.

[@anamikachoudhary9242]

We don't think of SMED in our day to day life, through this video I realized how application of smeds can save so much of time! Thank u Sir for your inside the box yet so out of the box principle.

[@ishitasarkar2656]

Most of the simple obvious things in life are so easily overlooked or largely unacknowledged. Thank you sir for illuminating such a crucial yet common understanding of externalising the internal factors to save time. I think we can all be better at time management now with this understanding starting from our daily routines to academic schedules if we simply plan ahead.

[@siddharthchhabria8987]

Simple things we overlook have got a definition (internal activity/ external activity) and the importance of having quick fixes couldn't be stressed upon anymore. That's called great operations 😎👍

[@maithilipradhan2894]

Being a non-engineer having no technical background whatsoever I thought of operations as a subject full of jargons that are impossible to relate with anyplace other than shop floor. But this video proved my notion wrong. Operations has deep connection with every organising activity of day to day life is what I have learnt. Operarions is everywhere! Thank you Dr. G for such a simplest explanation. It was a valuable learning.

[@DrG720214]

Maithili Pradhan - Please remind me to explain in the class why Operations is everywhere.

[@nainajoshi5466]

SMED (So Many Tasks Easily Done). This video of Dr. G and his students depicts the application of the concept of SMED in the best way possible. We all subconsciously use the concept in times of need, when we have to save time, cost and energy to do our day to day tasks, so using the concept in a planned and systematic manner can help most of the big organizations in all spheres to do n number of tasks effectively and efficiently.. Which most of the management students must learn.. Thank you sir for enlightening me by this video..

[@pratikkolhe4516]

Thank you sir for explaining SMED in this simple way 1) Quick fix 2) Converting internal activities to external Activity This two techniques we can use for day to day life as we are customers of our own mess We can improve our life style by using these techniques Identified Quick fix are 1)charger of phone which 2) Shampoo bottles head. Proper hand shakes also are quick fix’s example its principle is used in Coupling shafts. Thank you sir

[@kimayapotdar3924]

A simple changing of bulb activity has such a great concept within. Thank you for the simple yet effective explanation. -Kimaya Potdar, RBA

[@tejsarada_India]

These all activities were so much common in day to day life and after watching this video and having a interaction with you in person I started realizing that it exists everywhere and it has so much importance in day to day life.

[@DrG720214]

tej sarda - yes right. Now apply the concepts

[@shuvamgiri9900]

Sir, you are We-School's Dr. Proton. No jargon used and such a essential concept explained in a wonderful manner. This is SMED simplified to its best.

[@raagvohra1239]

Quick fixs are everywhere, we just need to look around! We can apply them in real life also so that we can reduce our wastage of time and increase our efficiency! Thank you sir! :)

[@navjyotiacharya]

Simple real life examples such as this can teach us the underlying techniques such as SMED. This is the most effective way of Learning one can get. Thank you Sir.

[@kimberlydsouza5316]

Sir, you and your students have managed to explain a very important concept, very simply through this video. The video made me realise that I had been using SMED in so many areas of my life but I did not know it. I have bronchitis and a while ago I fell ill and had to take many tablets several times, at different times, everyday. Some of them had to be taken before meals and very often I'd forget. At first I started to keep a reminder on my phone but that was tedious too as I had to read the tablet name and make sure I was taking the right one at the right time. I labeled the tablets that had to be taken together with the same colour (pink, green and yellow) and then simply set a reminder on my phone for the time with the colour name. (Eg: "Pink" at 2pm) This ensured that I took my medicines on time and it was also very easy to identify which tablets to take. Since I now know that I've been applying SMED (subconsciously), it will be even better when I make conscious decisions to apply it. Thank you for explaining it so simply. Looking forward to seeing many more such videos.

[@DrG720214]

Kimberly Dsouza - Excellent. Very important application. May God bless you with good health, always. Any way I can help I would be happy to do so.

[@kimberlydsouza5316]

Shrinivas Gondhalekar Thank you so much sir ☺️

[@nidhishah947]

Thankyou Sir for this wonderful video. I used SMED when I was in school by writing subject names of each book at the front portion.This helped me to save time all year long and increased the speed of my task.

[@ramamohanty926]

This video of SMED has shown to us the use of SMED Concept in our day to day acitivities and how we can carry forward this in many more concepts by thinking of the minute things nearby.Everytime we watch this video it gives us a new experience and making us to think in a different way.

[@reemasharma628]

I never knew smed can be used in our day to day lives. Thank you so much sir for demonstrating examples related to our daily routine. Looking forward for more videos.

[@nazimshaikh2998]

Thankyou sir for explaining us SMED(Single Minute Exchange of Dies). Although this concept is quite general we never realised it in our day to day life. After watching this video we can actually see this concept being used everywhere and we have even realised it’s importance. An eye opener.

[@prachipattnaik2042]

Thank you sir and team for explaining SMED using such simple day to day examples. I will definitely try this in real life. As i moved to mumbai recenly and took a flat, we have a whole lot of 5 to 6 keys including outer doors, room doors, cupboard keys and all are mostly similar looking. So i marked them with different colours and marked the locks with respective colours. This reduced a lot of hustle.

[@bhavikchheda9974]

Concept explained in a very simple manner with demonstration. Example helped in understanding the concept quickly. Thank you sir. -Bhavik Chheda, RBA

[@shaivyasrivastava9572]

SMED is a very important principle being followed by many production units world wide for reducing time consumption in operations. SMED makes every minute count thus increasing the efficiency many fold. I want to thank Dr.G for sharing such an insightful video. It is easy to understand and implement for upcoming managers.

[@DrG720214]

Shaivya Srivastava - Please implement the concepts, Shaivya.

[@shraddhamalve5028]

On a beautiful Sunday morning when our minds and brains are ready for taking in fresh ideas I decided to watch this video again. SMED is a very beautiful concept and practically implemented and explained by Dr.G. This video not only teaches us about SMED on a production platform but makes us aware of how human beings can apply the SMED concept in their day to day life and reduce the time of a 40 second task to a 4 second one.I hope that everyone must watch this video and learn how to transforms internal activities of any task to external activities. Thank you :)

[@DrG720214]

Shraddha malve - Thank you for devoting your beautiful Sunday morning to watch this video. Let's apply the concept all over in our lives.

[@shraddhamalve5028]

Shrinivas Gondhalekar Sir - Sure sir :) We all will take a lot of efforts to apply this in our day to day lives and make the most of it !!✌🏻

[@somaksarkar955]

SMED principles explained in a very transparent and effective manner using everyday examples . Thank you Sir .

[@OnkarManna]

A really simplified way to make us understand about SMED. Thank you sir & our dear seniors for this brilliant video and making us realise that we can shorten the length of many of our daily deeds by implementing SMED.

[@AkshayJadhav91]

Interesting concept. Used this approach to save overall time at the CNG refilling center. While in the queue, I opened the bonnet and approached the booth. The staff had to just pop open the bonnet and insert the nozzle without waiting for me to turn off my vehicle, press the bonnet open handle, come out and then pop open the bonnet . Saved 15 seconds. While the gas was being filled, I swiped the card for the said amount (asked him to fill Rs. X worth of gas). Saved 35-40 seconds since card machines are usually slow. Overall time saved was approximately 1 minute. Multiply this by the number of cars the cng pump refuels everyday and the results could be astonishing for the Business.

[@DrG720214]

Akshay Jadhav - Excellent implementation, Akshay. Even one second is of value because there is somebody in queue behind you getting more irritated every second. By doing SMED you are paying respect to the peoole waiting behind you. Also it brings into you a more efficient way of thinking. Later we will add to it and call it 'Design Thinking'. Please share this briefly with the whole class in my next session. Use diagrams or pictures or photos to share in 3 minutes. Lastly make sure every action promotes safety.

[@AkshayJadhav91]

Thank you Sir. I will be prepared to share and explain this experience while keeping safety in mind at the CNG Pump in class next lecture. Your words are very encouraging and I will implement the SMED Concept wherever I can in life. Thank you again.

[@rohanrshirodkar]

What an amazing way to explain SMED concept. Can't get more simpler then this. Thank Sir.

[@garimaagrawal9867]

Smed concept is brilliantly explained by DR. G which is applicable in day to day life and possibly everywhere

[@adhishthaparmar2502]

An insightful video which made me look around consciously and find SMED applied to so many small things in life which we usually overlook. Keeping the change or money ready in a queue for tickets so that the work is done faster, closing of activa seat which doesn't have to be screwed in but closes with a click when pressed, queueing near the door in order to get down from the train as soon as it stops at the station,double tape is a quick fix when you don't want to fix something using screws and there are umpteen such examples of SMED.

[@DrG720214]

adhishtha parmar - Good examples

[@adhishthaparmar2502]

Shrinivas Gondhalekar Thank You sir😊

[@rashmikamkar987]

SMED technique (lean production) and practical applications explained in the video are thought provoking! We have actually seen this being applied in reality in your lectures in the form that it is expected to keep the electronic equipment (computer and projectors), markers etc in place so that lecture can start without a single minute delay. In this way we are making the internal activities to external activities! Thank you :)

[@DrG720214]

Rashmi Kamkar - Correct. As my student coordinator or whatever, you must take responsibility to appy SMED to our class. I am glad you noticed it. Thanks

[@DrG720214]

Rashmi Kamkar - Yes glad you noticed it. Please make all the activities external.

[@rashmikamkar987]

Sure, I'll practice it everywhere possible! Thank you Sir :)

[@paridhigoyal3809]

Such an amazing video showing the practicality of SMED. These small relatable examples make it even more easy to understand the principle. It also shows how this principle can be applied to many of our daily chores and save us our precious time.

[@janhaviraverkar3686]

Thank you sir for making us understand SMED concept so easily. There are some things which I do everyday like getting things done early for next day but I didnt realise it's importance till I watch this video. Thanks again.

[@makranddharme641]

Sir, this SMED makes any task simpler and systematic and saves lot of time. I think SMED’s concepts can also be applied in traffic management in emerging cities, courier business, army operations and many more! Thanks a lot Sir !!

[@DrG720214]

Makrand Dharme - Find how you can apply it yourself wherever you can furst. Then later you can advise the world.

[@archanapremkumar128]

The lucid way of explaining the concept using simple but apt examples is great. Kudos to the team!

[@sakshimangla2453]

Thank you Sir for explaining the concept of SMED in such a simple way. It really helped me understand how externalizing the internal factors and quick fix techniqes can help reduce great amount of time. I would like to share two of the SMED techniques which i use in my daily life- 1)I have seen my friends and other ppl looking out for keys while standing outside the flat or ringing the bell so that someone comes and open the door which i really dont like as it wastes a lot of time. So, to avoid this,I take my keys out of the bag when i am in lift and when i reach my flat i just open the flat and enter without wasting time in looking out for keys. 2)Usually people keep pillow covers and bedsheet separately.I keep the same set of pillow covers and bedsheet folded together.So I just need to pick up the set and I am done,saving my time which would have been wasted while finding them separately.

[@DrG720214]

Thank you Sakshi. You are the first to write a comment. You set the ball rolling! Appreciated. Dr G

Thank you Sir for using simple examples to explain the concept! A massive 90% reduction in change over time just by implementing simple steps of smed. A must try!

[@prernasharma6089]

Hello Sir, Thank you for explaining us the SMED concept. It is really an interesting one. I have now realized that I had applied one few weeks back when I joined hostel in Mumbai. The very first day, when I returned from college I found that my room was not cleaned. Upon inquiry with the warden, I found that due to miss match of timing between me and my roommate, the room key was not available, and maid did not clean the room. I came with a suggestion to leave the key with the warden while leaving the hostel and then the room can be cleaned under her supervision. This concept really worked and now every day evening when I return back to my room, I see my room clean which makes me feel fresh. I have also started applying SMED with myself like I have placed the weekly timetable of college lectures in front of my bed, so that before sleeping I can check what lecture is next day and have I completed the assigned tasks on time. I have also started observing things around me where SMED can be applied.

[@DrG720214]

Prerna Sharma - Excellent. Please keep finding more such fresh applications.

[@prernasharma6089]

Thank you Sir. I will try to implement SMED concept as much as I can.

[@marylenekurian1649]

Thank You Sir, for demonstrating SMED quick changeover with a very simple example to understand the concept.

[@meghakumari5653]

Sir it's a very relatable explanation of SMED principle. Time is money these days and here it shows we can save both.☺️

[@Shailukool]

Namskar sir, its very easy to understand SMED through these practile example. One of best example what i hv seen is my life is my mother/grand mother while cooking. She prepares everything n then start cooking. External activities like cutting and boiling vegetables, ready with ingredients and den start process. Its very stupid to start process and den start to cutting vegetables. Cooking is one of best e.g i thought. Making external acivities into internal save lots of time and reduces cycle per job/process in companies. This concept is applicable from each individual to big corporates. Dhanyavad sir for making it easy.

[@DrG720214]

Shailesh - please use correct spelling while putting up comments which everyone can see. Writing 'den' instead of 'then' does not save time; it makes it difficult for your customer (person who reads your comment) to understand. 'den' is typical adolescent usage. Avoid it. Your English becomes poorer and it will reflect when you apply for placement. Cooking is a good example. Remind me in the class to ask the question "how to make kanda bhajji"

[@Shailukool]

Shrinivas Gondhalekar extream apologize for wrong english. I will take care of my spellings and make sure it won't happen again. I will be ready with recipe of kanda bhajji.

Thanks Dr.G for simplifying the concept of SMED and EOQ with practical demonstration. The other video on EOQ was nicely linked to it and one should watch that before this.

[@ayushisharma9545]

This is something actually have to get into our routine system. This is the case with everyone as we all get so much engrossed in our daily works but never realise the amount of time getting wasted in it. The example of the nut bolt one is really eye catchy for me, one of the best way to understand SMED. Already started applying it in my routine work to do my jobs efficiently.😊

[@DrG720214]

Ayushi Sharma - Good. Please share your implementations.

[@ayushisharma9545]

My some implementations are like being a hostler I have to do A-Z of my works on my own. Likewise, you said that prepare in advance....So I pack my bag a day before according to the next day's schedule. In the morning, I used to perform my work one after the other, but now I started performing them simultaneously. I put on the tap to fill the bucket in the meanwhile I complete some other jobs like I brush my teeth, keep the clothes to wear and shoes ready, put my mobile on charge....and after getting ready for the day when I have to leave most of the time it happens that I'm unable to find the lock, so what I've started doing is that I keep the lock hanging on the door so that when I leave the room I don't waste my time looking for it. These are some of my ways to save some of my seconds.

[@sarangasharma5938]

Hi sir, great video! Tried applying this at home in a very small way. I initially had only 1 huge bundle of clothes. After understanding about SMED I made a bundle of 2. This helped me in the following ways: 1- All the laundered clothes are now kept in the 2nd bundle automatically, this helps me save time as I can just look at the 1st bundle for the clothes that I haven't worn recently 2- I don't waste time shuffling the entire pile to find a paticularly piece of clothing, I can easily get it after lifting just a few now! Thus, converting external activity (time wasted In the morning looking for clothes to wear) to internal activity. Hope this small application is in the right direction. Thank you.

Sonam Sharoff - Beautiful application. Pareto's principle confirms that it is the small applications which make a big difference. I am extremely happy and proud that you could start making application within 48 hours. Keep going full swing. Your own life will become easy! Then you will be able to make others' life easy. A journey of 1,000 km starts with the first step!
