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]
