The Standard Work Manual

Can you imagine going to a restaurant and every time you ordered a burger it was completely different? Some people might enjoy that, but for most of us, we want consistency.

Standard Work is the foundation of any business, organization or entity. It is the methods by which any given process is accomplished. Even the lack of a formalized Standard Work Document is a “standard”, it is simply one that opens the door for inefficient practices and wide-ranging variation.

This manual covers all of the steps necessary to implement standards within your own workplace. The author has taken years of experience, including time at Toyota Manufactures which is world renowned for its quality and consistency, and compiled it into this field manual.

We have the opportunity to work with organizations who are trying to improve their performance and effectiveness.  Often, we see groups of people that are trying their best, but are unable to get on the same page with one another. We use this book as a cornerstone for those discussions so we can help organizations come together to build alignment. If you are working on teamwork and team effectiveness, we highly recommend this book as one of the foundational requirements. 

 

 

Another classic we refer to often for ourselves and our clients.  It is so easy to get caught up in day-to-day urgent matters that we lose sight of the big picture.  This book is grounded in fundamental and bulletproof practices that will help anyone be more effective.  Our favorite is always "Start with the End in Mind."  If you can imagine how you want something to look with clarity, you have a much better chance of making it a reality.
