4. What is Standardized Work?
The optimum combination of people, equipment, materials documented in time and space by the standard work combination sheet and the standard work sheet (layout and wip). The use of stable , repeatable , direct and unambiguous steps to achieve reliable output of processes and superior quality. Standard Work is the key to achieve takt time , one piece flow, and pull.

5. 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.

6. A Advantages of Standard Work Repeatable Processes. Operator Training.
Repeatable Quality
Improved Safety.
Disadvantages of Standard Work

7. Takt Time
Takt time sets the pace for Just-In-Time production. It is the amount of time allotted for the production of one unit based on the available time and demand. Takt Time Formula: TT = Daily Available Time Daily Demand

8. Standardized Work Objectives
Establish and clarify the guidelines for manufacturing
QUALITY, QUANTITY, COST, MANNING, INVENTORY, AND SAFETY
Provide a tool for Kaizen
YOU CANNOT MANAGE WHAT YOU DO NOT MEASURE
WHERE THERE IS NO STANDARD, THERE CAN BE NO KAIZEN
