This is the ideal tool to analyze a process to identify and eliminate waste.
For additional details for any work element, you can drill down to a related document - such as a training video, PowerPoint, Work Instructions, Job Breakdown, Standard Operating Procedure, flowchart, value stream map, or another Standard Work Sheet.
Any or all of these related documents can then be taped to the wall near each work station - to provide visual standard work instructions to remind workers not to cut corners or invent renegade ways of doing things that might reduce productivity or cause quality problems.
