Stability through clear frames

Standards that hold.

A stable process starts with clear agreements about the machine. SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) and Centerline together form the standard for machine behaviour: what you may adjust, what must stay fixed. The result: less variation, higher predictability.

Four principles

The approach.

01 · SMED · fast changeover

Shorter changeovers

Structured steps consistently deliver shorter changeovers.

02 · Centerline · the basis

Recorded settings

Recorded settings and bandwidths — no drift, no debate.

03 · Together the standard

Adjustable and fixed

SMED = adjustable, Centerline = fixed. Together they form the standard.

04 · From variation to control

Prevent losses

Deviations immediately visible, losses prevented instead of solved.

"Standardisation is the key to stability."

— SMED & Centerline

What it delivers

Concrete result.

Result

Faster switches

Up to 50% shorter changeovers without extra equipment investment.

Result

Predictable output

Centerline eliminates unwanted variation in product quality.

Result

Less rework

More stable settings lead to less scrap and rework.
