What it's for
Use this equipment changeover log to keep the working record, its evidence and follow-up together. Agree the start and end definition, products, team and target. This example measures last good old part to first good new part.

Completed manufacturing example
Tool staging happens before the stop. The changeover runs from the last good old part at 08:00 to the first good new part at 08:30, five minutes above target.
Internal activities total 30 minutes. The 10-minute external preparation does not add to the 30-minute stopped interval. Actual minus target is +5 minutes.
When to use this template
Overlapping tasks cannot simply be summed to obtain elapsed downtime. A SMED opportunity does not authorise performing hazardous work on running equipment.

How to use it
- Agree the start and end definition, products, team and target. This example measures last good old part to first good new part.
- Time each activity and classify whether it truly requires stopped equipment. External preparation is recorded separately, including work completed before the stop.
- Verify the first piece, calculate elapsed changeover time and review delays. Trial any proposed change under the approved safety and setup procedure.
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
- Completed fictional example and instructions
Ideal for
- Production managers implementing SMED programs
- Lean manufacturing teams reducing setup times
- Process engineers standardizing changeover procedures
Common uses
- Timing a product or tooling change
- Separating internal and external setup tasks
- Comparing repeat changeovers
