Case study: application of SMED in SIM card manufacturing company

The capability of economically manufacturing small batch sizes is essential for any mass production unit. This facilitates the several kinds products to match increasingly varying product demand from customer, even at lower cost. paper describes use single-minute exchange dies (SMED) technique in a SIM card company enhance its producing along with improving system's efficiency. Various innovative, simple and no-cost solutions were implemented general techniques SMED reduce non-value adding labour hours on 'setup change' processes 'module implanting' machine. time reduction 160 minutes 20 was achieved which 87.5%. improves overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by 4.7%, thus
