The determination of the Single Minute Exchange Die (SMED) is to remove the waste of time. Longer set-uptime indicates that the production line is not productive as their competitor and will lose by their competitor. Today,everything is been done faster and just-in-time, so, the main aim of the manufacturer is that to produce a part as fast aspossible with maintaining its’ quality and then deliver it to the customer right on time. There are so many productionunits where we require SMED system i.e. in plastic molding, in forging, in injection molding, in punching press and soon. In forging industry, the die setup is extremely irritating and time-consuming. During that time a press remains idle.So, no production is taking place. During die changing it is required for internal & external set up of die. So, duringinternal setupoperations, the press is kept idle. Therefore it has been tried to reduce the internal setup time. The mainaim of this literature review is to study about “How SMED system is helpful for die setup of forging hammer?”
