Everyone, welcome to this lecture. key points to remember before implementing standard work when you are implementing Standard Work in your organization, the critical task is to find a balance between providing employees with rigid procedures to follow and providing freedom to innovate and be creative to meet challenging targets consistently for cost, quality as well as delivery. The key to achieving this balance lies in the way people write standards, as well as who contributes to them. The standards have to be specific enough to be useful guides, yet general enough to allow for some flexibility. In repetitive manual work. Standards are pretty specific.
In other work type. Since there are no fixed quantities, the standards need to be more variable. The people doing the work have to improve prove the standards. There is simply not enough time in a workweek for improvement experts to be everywhere, writing rules and procedures when they are imposed on them. impose rules that are stringent become coercive. This further becomes a source of friction between management and workers.
However, people happily focused on doing a good job, appreciate getting tips and best practices, particularly if they have some flexibility in adding their own ideas. In addition, it is very empowering to find that everyone is going to use your improvement as a new standard. Using Standard Work is always a foundation for continuous improvement, innovation and employee growth.
