Standardised Work

Prerequisite

If you have no existing knowledge of Lean we recommend joining the 45 minute Introduction to Lean session to understand the mindset required to make a success of any Lean activity.

Overview  

Standardisation and Kaizen are the platform that supports the Toyota Production System. Without clear standards it is impossible for people to judge if a situation is normal or abnormal. In this situation how can we ever be certain our actions are adding value to a process and not just creating more waste? Standardised work is a tool that can be applied to any process where human interaction is present and when used correctly will lead to increased levels of motivation by creating employee process ownership and engaging them in continuous improvement activities.

Key Study Areas

• Correctly study the worksite and visualise the current state.
• Identify waste, value added and non-value added activities.
• Redesign the worksite to ensure Safety, Quality and Productivity
• Create a Kaizen plan to eliminate waste.
