The Lean Way to Getting Everyone on the Same Page
Learn how to develop standard work in a way that clearly communicates the “current best way” of doing things as you partner with employees to devise even better ways. These techniques are part of a Lean management system for running a small or midsize business, a system which was inspired by the innovative management ideas and practices pioneered by Toyota. Understand that unstable processes often result in unexpected problems. Recognize the value of standard work as a way of stabilizing processes, training employees, and supporting collaboration. Learn how to break down processes into steps which define standard work and which identify the factors that make the work easier, safer, and more productive.
