What is EPEI?
EPEI means Every Part Every Interval. It estimates how frequently a mixed-model process can produce every item in a part family while respecting available capacity, daily demand, run time, and setup time.
A shorter EPEI supports smaller lots, lower inventory, and faster replenishment. If the interval is too long, use the SMED Changeover Calculator to test setup reduction and the Kanban Card Calculator to size the replenishment loop.
