Standard Work

The Standard Work Combination Sheet Excel template is 4 tools in 1:         

1. Value Add Analysis (auto-calculates pie chart)

2. Operator Load Balancing (auto-calculates bar chart in relation to Takt Time)

3. Standardized Work Instructions & Analysis for an entire process, (which might later be divided into sub-assignments for individual Staff Positions)

4. Standard Work Combination Table visual time chart (see below)

 

 

The Standard Work Combination Chart (below), provides standardized work instructions, and auto-draws a visual time chart, which is great for analyzing a process to identify and eliminate waste.

 

 

You have options to:

• Auto-draw a Standard Work Combination Chart with a single click of a button.
• Create a separate time chart for each operator, or display all operators in a single chart.
• Use either stopwatch or video Time Observation
• Plot as many as 4 chart lines - for Takt Time, Target Cycle Time, Cycle Time, and even a 4th user-defined chart line
• Draw the chart with or without labels
• Include up to 200 lines of work elements on a single chart
  (and spread even larger processes over multiple charts - perhaps with summary data rolling up to each higher level)
• Define your own header data field labels
• Link to or from another worksheet for calculations such as Working Time Available, product mix, or master scheduling...
• Paste a picture of your Spaghetti Diagram on the same page with your Standard Work Chart!

 

 

New features in version 5 Auto-draw a Standard Work Combination Chart with a single push of a button. Copying the data to the chart worksheet used to involve a 2-minute error-prone process. Auto-drawing a chart is now instantly done with the push of one button. New Systems2win menu that appears whenever you open Excel * Easy ways to find & open templates. * New stencil of Link Icons for creating hyperlinks to related documents. * New flag icons - to link multi-language documents. * Easier upgrades. From now on, you will usually be able to upgrade without transferring data from old working documents to new templates - because code is now separated from data. Easily sync templates in your local PC with master templates in your company's shared portal. * Easily distribute personalized templates to all users. * Easy for laptop users to always have access to your company's latest templates - even when disconnected from your network. Version control - new version control features allow centralized data to instantly update multiple related worksheets - for header data, header field labels, takt time, and any other shared data. Each field on each worksheet can be either populated from a central version control page - or overridden with data unique to that worksheet. This centralized version control worksheet is a real time and mistake saver even when used in a stand-alone workbook - but really shows its worth in an ISO 9000 environment - especially when integrated with any third-party version control software. Easier help * More consistent user interface. * Separate worksheets for Sample and Help. * Less help needed - because more is automated. See more in What's New

Option to manually draw

Although you will usually want to use the auto-draw chart, there might be occasions where you want to manually draw a worksheet, in the exact same ways seen in Lean six sigma textbooks. Systems2win provides a printed worksheet to make it easy to do that too

 

 

What are the benefits of a Standard Work Combination Sheet?

It is arguably the most important of all Lean tools - because this is where "theory meets practice". If the people doing the actual work aren't doing it the way that your process improvement team envisioned - then your entire lean effort was wasted.

The heart of ISO 9000 certification is to certify that you have thoroughly documented the way that you do things, and that your workers actually do things in the way that was documented. That is what Standard Work is all about.

Even if your company is not seeking official ISO 9000 certification, these standard work tools can still provide the same benefits - because your people will be doing their work "the standard way" that is thoroughly documented and audited - so that your customers and investors can trust that your processes are under control - and more importantly, so that YOU can trust that your processes are under control.

It is one thing for a Lean Team to dream up new processes, and even to thoroughly document them, but nothing really changes until you have:
1) printed your standardized work instructions and posted them where workers can see them as they do the work
2) trained your supervisors to perform an effective Standard Work Audit - to ensure that your people are actually doing the work in the ways defined in your Standard Work Sheet.

 

 

The Analysis portion of this Standard Work template works with Excel 2000 or higher.
To auto-draw a Chart requires Excel 2002 or higher.
(But users can do most of their work in Excel, then open the document in a higher version of Excel just to run the chart, then continue working on the same workbook again in Excel 2000.)

 

 

This template works best when combined with the Lean Tools and templates and other Business Process Improvement templates - which are all packaged together as part of the Discount Bundle.

The Visual Work Instructions Worksheet is especially of interest for training new-hires, temporaries, and cross-trained workers - by providing pictures of each step, and written training instructions that are far more detailed than is appropriate for Standard Work Instructions.
