Standard Work
 

Standard work means there is a set of work procedures that effectively combine people, materials, processes, technology, and machines to maintain quality, efficiency, safety, and predictability.
 




It establishes the best methods and sequence steps to optimize performance and minimize waste. After creating the work procedures you train people to follow the established standard.
 

This help ensures employees complete a process the same way every time no matter who works the tasks. High quality is a direct output of a repeatable process.
 

Applying this throughout the enterprise gains consistency in manufacturing processes.  In addition there is a wealth of opportunities for applying standardized work to administrative processes. This tool is not just a lean tool for manufacturing but necessary for Quality Systems certifications such as ISO 9001.
 

Be sure to integrate the lean tool of 5S-visual-management, Quick-Changeover, and Mistake-proofing when writing work procedures.

*Create repeatable processes.

*Identify the most efficient method for a process.

*Establish documentation for each process.

*Improve process and product quality.

*Lower cost associated with scrap and rework.
