This document discusses techniques for reducing changeover times when manufacturing different products or product variants. It introduces the concepts of SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die), quick changeovers, and breaking changeover operations into internal and external components. The key techniques proposed include observing and video recording current changeover processes, analyzing to identify ways to externalize setup steps, and establishing goals and competitions to continuously reduce changeover times.
