Figure 6-5. Standardized Work Sheet

Your initial impression is of the waste! If we ask the question regarding the job
depicted in the figure we might get the answers: “It is a mess,” and “Look at the
long distance between operations,” or “The operator has to crisscross his work
pattern.” These are observations of the waste. Once the waste is understood we
can ask: “Is there a better method?”
As you progress through the improvement cycle your use of the Standardized
Work Chart will change. The initial effort to achieve standardization and elimi-
nate waste within a single operation shifts to creating operations that are aligned
and balanced with other operations in the flow. This alignment is achieved by
designing jobs that are aligned to a common pace known as takt time (explained
below).
