Enabling management to verify that processes are being performed
correctly and in an efficient manner, standardized work provides
limitless opportunities for process improvements. So much so, that
it has become a vital component of improvement efforts in Lean
enterprise systems. New Horizons in Standardized Work: Techniques
for Manufacturing and Business Process Improvement is an
all-inclusive guide to applying standardized work principles to
virtually any business in any industry. It facilitates a
fundamental understanding of standardized work principles and the
logic behind their development, so readers can successfully extend
and adapt them to their own work situation. It also: Supplies an
accessible introduction to standardized work, from a cyclic
perspective Explains how to instill and maintain quality in work
processes right from the get go Provides the foundational basis
required to apply standardized work concepts to a wide range of
work situations Includes several appendices with helpful tips and
problem-solving tools In a step-by-step format, this book discusses
the relationship of the work period and the takt time, as well as
the importance of the three main worker interface levels in job
design. It includes an array of examples that demonstrate how the
concepts discussed can be applied across a range of industries
including health care, construction, business processes, and food
services.
This field guide can be used directly on the gemba (work area) for
implementing and documenting standardized work. It promotes the
"future state" of standardized work along with crucial step-by-step
techniques and explanations not found in other publications. The
authors furnish many real examples of work problems that cause Lean
practitioners difficulty with documentation, along with accurate
solutions to those problems. The many illustrations and graphics
focus on practice rather than theory. Readers learn that
standardized work is not simply a tool for documentation but a
method for reducing variation and providing continuous improvement
through kaizen.
