STANDARD WORK

Standardization is a hidden jewel for producing high quality products with low cost and fast delivery. Implementing Standard Work at your company does not mean creating mountains of physical documents that will collect dust – the point is to share information about the best ways to do things so they will be done that way consistently.

Learn the various types of standards appropriate to the workplace, how to make them visual for workers and managers, and the important relationship between standardization and quality. Program participants learn:

1. The role of STW to eliminate operator-to-operator variability and follow "one best practice" way of doing each job
2. Difference between STW and Work Standards
3. The 3 major elements of STW (standard method, standard cycle time, standard inventory)
4. Balancing the Line with STW
5. Applying STW to each Value Stream
6. STW Checklist
7. STW Radar Chart
8. STW Kaizens (to be put on 90-day Kaizens)

Benefits to your organization:

• Documentation of the current process for all shifts
• Reductions in variability
• Easier training of new operators
• Reductions in injuries and strain
• Creates a baseline for improvement activities

CITEC conducts Standard Work programs as either a two-day training program or as a workshop with implementation at your facility over 3 – 5 days.
