Standard work is the centerpiece of a Lean Enterprise as it creates process requirements and its expectations for those processes. Standard work establishes a single method to use enterprise processes and minimizes process variation caused by people, machines, materials, and the environment, enabling predictable results.
Standard Work includes four key activities:
- Defining Standards
- Creating Job Instructions
- Training Job Instructions
- Observing Work
MRC’s instructors will help manufacturers to:
- Analyze sources of variation that exist within the current state to understand the impact on processes
- Identify the standards that stabilize safety, quality, delivery and cost
- Write detailed job instructions that ensure standards are achieved
- Develop a plan to observe the work being performed
