Introduction
• Standard work is an agreed-upon set of work
procedures that establish the best and most
reliable methods and sequences for each process
and each worker.
• Standard work is a tool used to best utilize people
and machines while keeping the rhythm of
production tied to the flow of customer orders.

Standard Work
• Standard work consists of three elements:
– Takt time
Matches the time to produce a part or finished product
with the rate of sales. It is the basis for determining
workforce size and work allocation
– Standard work sequence
The order in which a worker performs tasks for various
processes
– Standard in-process inventory
The minimum number of parts, including units in
machines, required to keep a cell or process moving
• Once a standard work is set, performance is
measured and continuously improved

Improving Standard Work
• Areas for improvement
– Flow of materials
– Shifting from specialization to multi-skilled lines and
operators
– Improvements in motion
– Establishing rules for operations
– Equipment
– Separation of people and machines
– Preventing defects
– Eliminating walking
– Shift from one-handed to two-handed tasks
– Placement of parts
• Improvements in motion are among the
most important changes
