Training, workshops and consultant support for the reduction of setup times

Learn SMED methodology by reducing setup times on your own equipment.

WCM Consulting AB will lead you through a project that combines training, workshops and consultant support. In this way you enjoy results immediately, at the same time gaining the knowledge to be able to carry out similar projects in the future.

Goals and objectives:

The objective of the training section is to give a solid understanding for working with tutorials where the use of a combination of reality and simulated events is important.

The workshops are designed to harness the collective expertise that exists among your personnel to systematically analyze and improve your own ways of working during the transition, and to produce good action plans.

Consultant assistance is to help you complete the project according to recognized principles so that knowledge is built up sufficiently for the project group to be able to carry out your future SMED projects without outside assistance.
