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
