SMED vs. Reduced Effort Change Over
At a major consumer products company, SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Dies) had been implemented and applied for 20 years. As a result, they did not believe that The Reduced Effort Changeover (REC) process would deliver any additional time reduction. However, after 4 days of applying REC they were able to further reduce their liquid filler change over downtime by 33%. Operators commented that the “REC process made us see inconveniences as losses, and made the work easier.”
“Prior to the event, I was viewing this as a repackaged form of SMED. After going through the process I found it was not that at all. If Reduced Effort is not already the future of change over improvements, it will be....The process works and is fun at the same time. It makes you think, not just about change overs, but so much more that is applicable to operations improvements. I’ve been through many events and worked with many consultants. ron is by far the most engaging, interesting, and relevant one by far. He connects with everyone and you can’t help but learn.” - John O’Donnell, Operations Development Manager, Major Beverage Bottler
“Excellent seminar taught by someone who you can tell has a lot of experience in this field. The Reduced Effort Process takes SMED to a totally new level. The results are amazing.”

“I can’t believe a 42 minute filler change over is now 7 minutes. Simply awesome” - Tommy Williams, Manager World Class Manufacturing, Major household cleaning products company
“It was the most impact-full event I have yet to take part........While you have always taken the stand that it is more about the culture and changing how people view their roles and responsibilities, I never realized just how true it is. I believe your process is key to changing our site’s culture, both at the associate level and the management level.” - Dirk Chitwood, World Class Manufacturing, Major household consumer products company
