Primes¶

Batch Size
- Manufacturing and operations research: the economic order quantity, SMED reducing changeover to enable small batches, kanban single-piece flow, and Heijunka load levelling.
  This sourceTranslated by Andrew P. Dillon. Cambridge: Productivity Press, 1985. Introduces Single-Minute Exchange of Die — attacking the setup cost itself to shift the whole batch-size trade-off toward small batches.
Switching Cost
- In industrial engineering it is die and line changeover, with the single-minute-exchange-of-die methodology a direct structural intervention on the cost.

Mechanisms¶

Setup Time Reduction and Recalibration
- The workflow's first move is a structured changeover reduction on the SMED pattern: film the changeover, separate the steps that can be done while the press still runs (staging the next plates, pre-mixing ink) from those that require it stopped, convert as many "internal" steps to "external" as possible
  This sourcePresents SMED as videotaping and analyzing a changeover, separating stopped-machine work from work possible while running, converting internal work to external work, and streamlining setup with functional clamps.
