Technical Perspective

Standard Work documents the specific sequence of steps, key points, and time elements for completing a task. It includes takt time (demand pace), work sequence (step order), and standard WIP (work-in-process limits). The documentation is visual, posted at the point of work, and includes 'reasons why' for critical steps.
