Taiichi Ohno once said: “Without standards there can be no improvement”.
Standard work, sometimes called standardised work, is an essential component for any improvement activity and is often seen as the platform on which all continuous improvement is based.
The benefits of implementing Standard include:
- Processes become reliable, repeatable and capable of meeting customer demand.
- Improves quality
- Reduces lead times
- A way of capturing best practice
- Creates consistency – ensuring that everyone does things in the same way and at the same speed.
