Course Description

Standard Work is central to achieving and sustaining the Lean Enterprise. By definition Standard Work demands adherence to today’s best practices and must be imbedded in all you do, from standard operations in the workplace to standardized policies and procedures. In manufacturing operations, standard work is a key element in the elimination of waste and excess inventory and in achieving balanced and synchronized production. What it boils down to is that absent standard work, there can be no Lean.

Guided by a classroom simulation, participants will use a proven methodology to develop a standard procedure, and then apply document control and visual workplace principles and techniques to train others in their new best practice, or standard work.

Learning Objectives

In this workshop, participants will learn how to:

• analyze use of standards

• create and document standards

• communicate and ensure adherence to standards

• maintain and continually update standards as best practices evolve

Who should attend?

Plant Managers, Operations Managers, Lean and Continuous Improvement Managers, Production Managers, Maintenance Managers, Green and Black Belts or any anyone responsible for building and maintaining a continuous improvement program and culture in their organization.
