X-treme standardized work
Standardized Work: The Toyota Production System organizes all jobs around human motion and creates an efficient production sequence without any “Muda.” Work organized in such a way is called standardized work. It consists of three elements: Takt-Time, Working Sequence, and Standard In-Process Stock.
- Takt-Time: is the time which should be taken to produce a component on one vehicle. This timing mechanism is based on the monthly production schedule. Daily total operating time is figured on the basis of all machinery operating at 100% efficiency during regular working hours. The takt time allows us to produce many parts of many different types for use in vehicles on the production schedule and to supply those parts to each process on the assembly line at the proper time. This keeps production on schedule and permits flexible response to change in sales. Takt Time = Straight Time Work Time (Seconds) / Required Number of Production based on Demand
- Working Sequence: refers to the sequence of operations in a single process which leads a floor worker to produce quality goods efficiently and in a manner which reduces overburden and minimizes the threat of injury or illness.
- Standard In-Process Stock: This is the minimum quantity of parts always on hand for processing on and between sub-processes. It allows the worker to do his job continuously in a set sequence of sub-processes, repeating the same operation over and over in the same order.

What was "extreme" about this???

Erm, nothing! The links to the Google videos never posted properly. Perhaps I’ll try again!
