"There is something called standard work, but standards should be changed constantly… “ Taiichi Ohno
Standards Normal • Specialists define THE better way of working. • Workers are not involved in the planning or making improvements • Standards are stable. Only specialists can change them. Lean • There are multiple ways of working better. • Workers plan and improve the work. • Standards are the basis for improving.
Without a standard • You cannot know if you are improving • You will improve, forget and improve the same thing again • Improvements will minimize after a while. Improvements need to be standardized!
