The Secrets of Changeover Skilshop is a focused, 4-hour intensive training session designed specifically for manufacturing leaders and frontline teams. Unlike traditional workshops, this Skilshop equips participants with actionable skills that can be implemented on the production floor the same day.

Target Audience

Plant managers, production supervisors, engineers, maintenance technicians, setup operators, and continuous improvement leads responsible for changeover performance.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

1. Clearly define changeover and changeover time using standardized, measurable criteria.
2. Quantify the financial and operational impact of changeover downtime on throughput, capacity, and profitability.
3. Apply immediately actionable techniques to reduce changeover duration—many requiring no capital investment.
4. Implement the proven ESEE Changeover Reduction Framework:
   • Eliminate non-value-added tasks
   • Simplify essential operations
   • Externalize internal tasks to run in parallel
   • Execute with precision using checklists, visual SOPs, and quantitative setpoints

Hands-On Application

Participants engage in a real-time, role-based changeover simulation using the Changeover.com SMED Simulator, reinforcing ESEE principles through structured practice and debrief.
