- Abstract
This paper aims to present a process of implementing a Single-Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) method and a manner of evaluating the effectiveness of such an undertaking. The subject of the study is a printing enterprise that conducts its business activity in Poland and the chosen research area is a flexographic machine Gidue Master Combat 430. The article presents specific stages of implementing the SMED method, describes activities aimed at determining the causes of the resulting waste and proposes ways of improving the changeover process. It should be emphasised that the article presents the effectiveness of implementing the SMED method in a measurable and quantitative manner.
