Standard Work Training | The Foundation of Standardization and Continuous Improvement
Standard work is one of the most powerful yet most underused lean tools in businesses. Grupas Gelisim's Standard Work program brings your organization the discipline of standardization, which ensures that the current best methods are documented, communicated, monitored and continuously improved. The program clarifies the concepts of standard, standard work and standardization; and covers, through hands-on practice, the 3 requirements, the 3 elements (takt time, work sequence, standard inventory level) and the 3 forms (process capacity table, standardized work combination chart, standard work flow) of standard work.
The training also covers the stages of standardization (people, method, measurement, equipment, material, information), types of standards, production documents, work instructions, work study techniques (time, motion and method study) and the prerequisites of standard work (5S, SMED, Poka Yoke, TPM, Jidoka, cellular manufacturing, pull system and kanban, Heijunka).
