Work Standards, Standard Work, and Standardized Work: Similarly sounding labels applied to best practices, which share a common thread, however, differentiate themselves in true practice; but nevertheless, create such confusion because of their similarity. In this webinar we’ll break down this confusion.
This webinar will highlight:
- Learning to differentiate and apply three variations of Work Standards: Standard Operating Procedures, Work Instructions, and Job Aids.
- A foundation of Lean Thinking is Standard Work
We’ll learn what Lean Standard Work is and how to develop and implement the three elements of Standard Work:
- Standard Work Worksheet
- Standard Work Combination sheet
- Operator Loading Chart
We’ll learn how Standardized Work is a combination of Work Standards and Standard Work in addition to leveraging a few other critical and key best practices.
