Todays the high effects of SMEs on the economy are clear to all. In countries that are in development if we have had a strong economy, we
should have productive firms. We can increase our productivity in two ways, increasing sales and decreasing costs. This compe titive markets don’t allow
us that select customers and their order quantities. Because of this, we should reply to all kinds of customers for keeping a competitive advantage. By
using lean manufacturing techniques, high quality, low cost, and on time delivery are achieved. One of these techniques is SMED (Single Minute
Exchange of Die) that use for increasing changeover times. Whe n we increase setup times we able to produce in small parts and it helps us to reply to
several customers with small orders in a short time. Another effect of using SMED is saving setup time and reduce production cost. In this study SMED
and 5S techniques applied in metal machining companies that produce parts with turning method. At first, we classified the product families by sales
quantities in the last years to select the research scope. Next, we take current state video from starting setup to starting production and analyzed for
dividing internal and external times. At least an improvement project for increasing internal and eliminate the external time s identified and done. Finally
with the ending of this project we can reduce the setup times about 30 p ercent.
