Why You Should Attend This 1-Day Workshop In a lean production environment “Standardized Work” is the foundation on which improvement, performance, and cost reduction is based.  Without a working understanding of standardized work and the ability to implement it, the rest of your efforts to implement lean manufacturing systems will not result in any measurable improvement.  Developing your own knowledge and skills in the area of standardized work is critical if you want to be a leader in your organization’s lean transformation effort.    \nThis 1-day Manufacturing Executive Institute “LEAN Tools Series” workshop will focus on tangible techniques to establish Standardized work in your manufacturing plant.  Specifically, this workshop will address: Standardized work defined and its role in a lean production system….The foundation for improvement activity.   Define work standards, process standards, standard procedures, and standardized work…...let’s end the terminology confusion!
