Standard work
Standard work or standardized work is a lean manufacturing concept that aims for optimizing for best practices through the documentation of each work task, takt time, sequence of tasks, and resources to complete the task.[1] The purpose is to create a consistent, efficient, and repeatable process that can be utilized by anyone enabling workers to reduce waste, improve quality, and increase productivity.[2][3][4][5]
Employees may be resistant to the deployment of standard work due resistance to change.[6][7]
Creating standardized work involves the development of a process capacity sheet, standardized work combination table, standardized work chart, and job instruction sheet.[8]
