 Best Set Up Time Reduction Manual October 12, 2003
Michael J Leahy (Santa Rosa, CA United States)
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book does an excellent job of explaining how manufacturing setup times can be drastically reduced, including many useful examples. Reducing setup times is critical in the effort to implement the extraordinarily efficient Toyota Production System.
The text is much clearer than "Kaizen For Quick Changeover" by Sekine and Arai. This book deals with setup time reductions for loosely toleranced components or assemblies, and does not deal specifically with tightly toleranced parts.
Very Good Book June 4, 2006

I highly recommend this book and it is a must read for all manufacturing personnel in the USA. This book will make you re-think all aspects of fixture design and manufacturing processes. It provides many excellent verbal & illustrated examples of SMED concepts.
Reduce Setup time = Shingo's book April 7, 2010

Nice book of Shingo. Easy to read with all advice that he could give you to reduce setup time.

I purchased this book back in the 80's and it changed my way of thinking. At the time, I was a supervisor in a forge shop. The lessons that my crew and I were able to apply based on the principles in this book were awesome. We literally shaved hours off our die changes and other improvements. I actually used to hide my book from the other supervisors as I wanted to maintain an "edge" over them and this book was my main weapon.
Filled with great illustrations, the lessons given can be modified for every type of industry. I know because I have used this book in forging, sheet metal, commercial lighting and the food industry. The advice and general mindset is very easy to adapt.
As a corporate director HR I no longer get that involved in production processes. However, I continue to recommend the work of Shigeo Shingo to my associates in production.
I hope you find this review helpful.

 A really USEFUL book... November 9, 1999
17 out of 18 found this review helpful
Before reading this book, i had no certain opinions about SMED system. There was a lack of knowledge and i could not apply this technique properly in the factory which I am working for. Now, i am applying SMED technique and decreasing setup times sharply even not under ten minutes. This book opens doors for its reader. Pay money and take it. !
