About This Template

The Equipment Changeover Log is an essential tool for implementing SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Die) and reducing setup times in manufacturing. This template helps teams document each step of the changeover process, measure time consumption, and identify opportunities for improvement. By tracking changeover performance, manufacturers can reduce downtime, increase production flexibility, and improve OEE. The log format encourages standardization of setup procedures and provides data for continuous improvement initiatives focused on reducing changeover times from hours to minutes.

Key Features

Step-by-step changeover activity breakdown
Time tracking for each changeover element
Internal vs. external activity classification
Equipment and tooling requirements documentation
Problems and delays recording
Before/after quality verification checks

How to Use This Template

  • Record all activities from production stop to first good part
  • Time each step to identify the longest duration activities
  • Classify activities as internal (machine must stop) or external
  • Document problems, delays, and improvement opportunities
  • Analyze data to identify quick wins for setup reduction
  • Standardize improved procedures and measure progress
