Abstract

An educational case implementing a SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Dies) teaching method with results that measure the participating student’s perception is reported. This method significantly reduces training time and increases knowledge retention as a result of an improvement aimed at shortening the learning cycle of industrial engineering students learning about lean manufacturing tools. This study was conducted with a hundred students who are the population of industrial engineering in a small college.
