materials documented in time and space by the standard
work combination sheet and the standard work sheet

Why Should My Company
Embrace Standard Work
Kaizen will succeed only if you pay regular and
productive attention to Standard Work.
 Team member choices are dramatically reduced,
eliminating the “do it your own way”.
 Abnormal conditions are clearly defined and tracked.
 The flow of people, information, equipment and
materials is choreographed to eliminate waste.
