Hence, the following paper includes brief description of Lean approach and introduction of its goals, as well as presentation of SMED methodology in scientific literature. In its second part it presents main ideas of SMED methodology and description of its stages. The next part of the paper provides presentation of the real process of setup in the analyzed company.
