Building a Culture of Improvement

Foundations of Standardized Work
Standardized Work (SW) arms your management, supervisors and workforce with the mentality and methods to continually improve. SW is not a pack of standard operating procedures; it’s the control system that unifies and synchronizes work improvements for the lowest-cost, best quality and safest conditions possible.

What We Will Cover
Our Foundations of Standardized Work course will help your teams see their jobs from a whole new perspective. They will identify variances in processes, eliminate ambiguities and solve problems. This course will unify your teams and help foster confidence in their influence — both in on-the-job improvement and on overall organizational results. The course can be tailored to address either upper or mid-level management; the upper management iteration will emphasize the philosophy and intended results of SW, while the mid-level iteration will cover the more tactical aspects of SW implementation.
Objectives of this course include:
  • Defining the purpose and role of SW and TWI at the organizational level and on the frontlines.
  • Defining the relationship between SW and Continuous Improvement.
  • Defining the relationship between SW and Problem Solving.
  • Clarifying how Standardized Work, Standard Work, and Work Standards integrate and function.
  • Learning how to build higher levels of trust among frontline leaders and teams.
