At the present day, not accessing the information but employing the information in the demanded way has gained importance. Lean production system is confronted as a consequence of the search for effectuating the cheapest and flawless production on a basis one to one compatible with the demand of the customer, with the least dissipation and resource, in the shortest time possible. This demand has become noticeable to a large extent due to the growth of globalization, the fact that the customers require the products best fitting their demand, not settling for the same type of products, the fact that, with the advancement of technology, the customers can purchase whatever product they require from whichever country of the world they want and in the light of all these developments, due to the increase in rivalry.

In the third section, one of the lean production techniques, the SMED technique, has been discussed and processed in a detailed way. In the final section of the study, on the other hand, being the application phase, the implementation of the SMED technique in a company making paper food packaging is dealt with and the results of the study made are conveyed. Key words: Lean Production, Value, Waste, SMED, Time With the increase of production companies and every single company's struggling on its own aiming at surviving, the companies have gotten into a world wide cut – throat competition.
