WHAT - Standardized Work is an agreed upon set of work procedures that establish the best method and sequences for each process. It defines the interaction of people using processes to produce a product.

WHY By using Standardized Work everyday, operations run with more efficiency, have better reliability and are easier to train.

Humans are great at adaptability but lousy at consistency. While adapting operators develop 'best practices' that are used to make production more efficient and hopefully easier. Many companies hold Kaizen Events to promote and build new and better ways of thinking and operating. Like with any other improvement effort, if not constantly maintained it will erode over time.

Standardized Work ensures that these 'best practices' are not lost over time and are available to set the standard for all employees (new and old) to live by.

Standardized Work - SIMPLE and BENEFICIAL to ALL!
