What is Set Up Reduction?
Set up reduction is a process improvement activity targeted at reducing the amount of time and effort required to change over production from one product to another. Ideally, the goal should be to reduce the set up activity to less than 10 minutes. Set up reduction facilitates smaller batch sizes without increased costs.

What are the benefits of set up reduction?

• Faster response to customer needs from shortened lead times
• Lower production costs
  
• Smaller batch sizes which reduce floor inventory and space requirements and give quicker recognition of product defects

• Improved workplace organization
• Improved quality and reduced scrap
