Focusing on the development of Standardized Work forms, this book continues the journey of Thomas, a promising plant manager, as he seeks to enhance operational efficiency. It emphasizes identifying variability and waste within the plant's processes, utilizing a wealth of examples, charts, and illustrations to clarify the dynamics between operators, machines, and materials. This practical guide aims to equip readers with the tools needed to streamline operations and improve performance in an industrial setting.

Focusing on operator performance measurement, this book provides a straightforward approach to assess efficiency without compromising accuracy. It outlines techniques to identify top-performing operators and track their progress, drawing on successful applications in the automotive industry. The described method is easily automatable, minimizing labor requirements and streamlining the measurement process. This first installment in The One-Day Expert series aims to enhance understanding and implementation of standardized work practices.

This book, which is the fifth of series dedicated to Standardized Work, focuses on operator training and auditing. The whole process of deploying Standardized Work is a pure waste if it does not include operator training and auditing that allows to "check" that operators are actually doing the work as defined in the Standardized Work forms. Unfortunately Standardized Work without effective training and auditing is very common. In order to be successful training and auditing should be conducted in a certain way with certain tools. This book shows and illustrates the right tools and the right process to train and sustain Standardized Work. Numerous examples, charts and drawings are used to convey the knowledge effectively.
