Standardised Work
Standardisation is used in Lean to make processes better by understanding what the most efficient way of completing a task is, and then establishing a process to ensure that this method can be repeated.
View Lean resourcesIt has a number of advantages in the workplace which include: reducing variability – and subsequently improving quality, improving employee well-being through better health and safety.
It centres around the following key principles:

- The work sequence which is required in manufacture or to complete a job.
- The standard inventory of machinery required to keep processes running smoothly
