Standardized Work (STW)

Standardized Work - STW

Standardized Work (STW) is finding the best-practice method of doing work (individual job, jobs in a cell, jobs in a value stream), having everyone doing these jobs doing them in the same standard way (taking the variability out of the person-to-person aspect of each job) and  continuously improving these jobs (to improve performance)
