Standard Work Estimating

How to estimate Standard Cost & Time

What's the standard cost?

How many can we make in a shift?

What if we change the batch size?

Those are the
types of questions

that can be answered using the new

Standard Cost Estimating features within the latest version of the Standard Work template.

Gemba time observations

Of course, using engineered standards is a big taboo in the world of lean process improvement,

(which is why it took so long to add this feature)

in the real world, however, there are legitimate reasons to use estimated (rather than observed) times.

See our online training for when (and when not) to use engineered vs. observed time standards.

Import Shared Standards

Once your team has done the hard work of observing and timing hundreds or thousands of Work Elements,

you will want to share those Standard Work Elements between dozens (or hundreds) of documents that you use for estimating time and cost for many different processes.

And how do you keep all those documents updated as new observations and Work Elements are added or change over time?

That's what the new Standard Work Elements template does for you.

If you need to estimate time and cost standards

then you owe it to yourself (and your company) to check out the new systems for Standard Cost Estimating.

Online Training

The online training web page for every template has been updated for easier, more consistent training, that is easily translated.

Easier

More pictures.
More videos.
More step-by-step instructions.

More Consistent

One of the biggest benefits of your 150+ Systems2win templates is that there is such consistency for how to use them.

"When you learn one, you learn them all"

Now we are completing the process of applying similar consistency to the training pages for every template.

The training page for each template now starts with "What is?" and "Why use?"

The "How to use" section now starts with the fundamentals of how to find the template, how to rename your worksheet, and other fundamentals covered in the training video for How to Find Help and Training for any Systems2win template.

Easily Translated

In the past, training for each template was split between the training web page and the 'Help' page in each Excel template.

Most of the template-specific training has now been migrated from the 'Help' page to the training web page

which not only makes training more consistent and easy, but also makes it much easier for your international users to translate the training into any language.
