This SMMT publication has been developed specifically to support organisations’ understanding of the implementation of Standardised Work as required within the automotive industry’s international quality management standard IATF 16949:2016.
The document provides clear descriptions of various principles of Lean manufacturing and examples of relevant tools in practical application.
The guide has been developed with SMMT Industry Forum and is based on twenty years’ experience of the development, implementation, monitoring and improvement of Standardised Work throughout the automotive supply chain.
Anyone purchasing this guide will also be given the opportunity to download for free copies of various templates that are pictured and referred to in detail throughout the guide. These tools for observing, recording and calculating aspects of operational performance, standard procedures etc. offer more practical implementation support as well as underpinning the methods explained.
