Standard Work

With­out stan­dards, there’s no way to know if your con­tin­u­ous improve­ment efforts move the nee­dle in the right direction.

Stan­dard Work is defined as the most effec­tive com­bi­na­tion of peo­ple, mate­ri­als, and equip­ment. An essen­tial build­ing block in the Lean man­age­ment sys­tem, Stan­dard Work serves as the basis for eval­u­a­tion and improvement.

The Stan­dard Work method­ol­o­gy defines and doc­u­ments best prac­tices that make it pos­si­ble to com­plete tasks the same way each time, elim­i­nat­ing the vari­ables that can lead to qual­i­ty issues and wast­ed time and resources.

Whether you’re strug­gling to get waste under con­trol, achieve oper­a­tional con­sis­ten­cy, or estab­lish a Lean cul­ture, our Stan­dard Work video train­ing series can help you build a foun­da­tion for sus­tain­able, long-term improve­ments in any work environment.
