Single minute Exchange of Die is one of the LEAN approach to reduce the set up change over time and seven kind of losses due to the weakness in the initial process customization. Manufacturing organizations faces problem in reduction of cost and increasing the efficiency or productivity which is real challenge in the manufacturing operations. In the highly competitive or globalized society the manufacturer need to find a method to reduce the cost and production time to reduce the operating cost and Quality of product and Reliability. This paper deals with the basic over view of a reduction in set up time in a sub assembly stage of an auto sector by Setup Changeover Time Reduction (SMED). It is definitely possible to reduce the set up times and cost of sub assembly production considerably by simple modifications or improvements. The reduction of set up time can be done with the help of SMED methodology. Various types of industries can apply the SMED Methodology to reduce their set up times.
