Work Standards Training
Good standards make good products
Establishing clear and effective work standards is essential for consistent quality, productivity, and continuous improvement. This training focuses on creating practical, shop-floor-ready work standards, while also clarifying the difference between work standards and the structured Toyota concept of standard work.
A solid standard is the foundation of a quality product.
Work standards in action: From concept to execution
Participants will explore how well-defined standards form the foundation of operational stability and how they support lean initiatives. Through real-world examples, we’ll demonstrate how work standards can vary across processes and roles — and how they can be developed, documented, and sustained.
Standard work: Who does what
Learn to write a good standard - and try it out!
A key part of the training is a hands-on simulation where participants apply the principles of work standardization in a practical setting. This exercise helps bridge theory and practice, allowing participants to optimize their own processes in real time. The simulation is based on a LEGO model, providing a fun, engaging, and tangible way to explore the creation of work standards.
You will build your own standard and improve it.
See what others are doing well
Throughout the course, multiple examples of work standards from various industries will be shared to inspire and guide implementation. By the end, participants will understand how to build effective work standards that support training, problem-solving, and continuous improvement, and how to evolve them into full standardized work systems where appropriate.
Augmented reality for work standards might not suit your situation, but it’s good to be aware of what’s out there.
