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. 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.
Employees may be resistant to the deployment of standard work due resistance to change.
