Tired of beating your head against a wall of resistance when you attempt standardized work?

Every organization undertaking true lean implementation knows that standardization is a critical foundation for lean success.

Writing standardized work often becomes one of the early steps; but is frequently met with both middle management and labor resistance, becomes exceedingly complex and long, and in the end is unusable because of all the exceptions and variations.

As a result, the standardized work documents which finally make it through development and approval wind up like most other work procedures and training manuals: in a notebook in someone’s office and seldom if ever used.

The UK True Lean™ Introduction to Standardized Work program is designed to address why the above scenario happens too often in all types of work.  It is structured as

• a highly interactive classroom presentation and discussion
• includes experiential learning activities
• concludes on day three with a go forward strategy planning session
  • an opportunity for extensive Q & A, coaching, and discussion between the instructor and the students
  • focused on specific implementation issues in the student’s own workplace

The program is 2.5 days long, beginning at 8:30 a.m. daily, and ends at noon on day 3.
