DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION

In manufacturing operations, standardization is a key element in eliminating process waste and excess inventory and in achieving balanced and synchronous production. Standard work is an agreed upon set of work procedures that effectively combines people, materials and machines to maintain quality, efficiency, safety and predictability. As a foundation stone in Lean manufacturing, standard work establishes the best activities and sequence steps to maximize performance and minimize waste.

This training presentation is specially designed for production teams and managers to understand the basic standard work concepts and applications. Use this training presentation to get everyone on board to maintain quality, efficiency, safety and predictability.

NOTE: This training presentation package includes:
1. Standard Work slides (PowerPoint format)
2. Process Capacity Table (Excel format)
3. Standard Work Combination Sheet (Excel format)
4. Standard Work Sheet (Excel format)
5. Takt Time Calculator (Excel format)
6. Time Observation Sheet (Excel format)
7. Work Methods Chart (Excel format)

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Understand the characteristics of standards in a Lean production system
2. Identify the key benefits and applications of standards and standard work
3. Acquire knowledge of standard work concepts, process and documentation to create stable and repeatable processes to maximize performance and minimize waste
