Equipment Changeover Log
Track and optimize equipment setup times for faster changeovers and increased production capacity.
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.
