IOSR Journal of Business and Management, v. 25, n. 3, p. 60-78, mar. 2023. DOI: 10.9790/487X-2503036078.https://rigalileo.itegam.org.br/handle/123456789/356The overall objective is to implement the Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) methodology to reduce the setup time (model change) in an electronics factory in Brazil. The research was carried out at a company in the electronics segment, located in the Industrial Pole of Manaus (PIM). Using a cause-and-effect diagram, it was verified that machines, labor, method, and material are the main causes for the high setup time. The initial SMED action plan defined eleven actions to reduce the line setup time. The implementation of the SMED method resulted in a 64% reduction in setup time, bringing significant productivity and efficiency improvements to the analyzed SMT line.PDF.SMEDSMTLean ManufacturingTempo de SetupEficiência ProdutivaArtigoEngenharias - Engenharia de Produção
