Equally important, they may want to know how much each setup is costing to perform using the current setup method. Because setup is an activity, it should be possible to trace relevant costs incurred by the resource consumption required to perform the activity.

Company uses SMED techniques to cut change-over time
By using SMED techniques, Rath Gibson's North Branch facility has demonstrated what is possible on a mill change-over and is now prepared to make that possibility a reality. As Plant Manager Vic Bove says, "Now that we have established a standard work procedure for all mill change-overs, our biggest challenge is to propagate this practice to all of our mills as well as other areas of our manufacturing operation. We will continue to learn with each change-over and always strive for continuous improvement."
