MOVEMENTS, OUTLINING EFFICIENT, SAFE WORKING
METHODS THAT ELIMINATE WASTE, WHILST
ENSURING PROPER USE OF EQUIPMENT AND TOOLING
 What is it used for?

! Training of staff

! A means of standardisation

! A platform for improvements

! Safe working practices

! A tool to help manage the workplace

 How we develop the Standard Operation

• Select Operation

• Record data of Operation

• Analyse the operation

• Develop the best current method

• Confirmation stage

• Identify Main Steps

• Identify Key Points

• Write the Standard Operation

 Select Operation

Job Selection - Criteria to take into consideration

" Ease / Difficulty of Manufacture

" Inconsistencies manufacturing times
" Inconsistencies in Quality
" High Labour Turnover
" High accident rates
" Excessive handling of materials
 Record Data of Operation

Recording

When recording the present situation, direct observation is the

preferred method, but information can also be collected from :-

- Historical Records
- Interviews etc.

Useful methods of recording include :-

- Flow Process Charts

- Video etc.

……the potential savings MUST justify the cost of investigation

 Analyse the Operation

• Gather all the relevant paperwork

• Ensure all parts & tooling are at
hand
• Watch operation being performed
(across all shifts where possible)
• Ask for the operators inputs
• Is there a sequence
• Take rough notes
 Develop the best method

• Question what we are doing & when

• If there are differences between shifts

which one gives us more benefits?

• Consider applying the 4 principles of

motion economy
Reduce motions
Perform motions simultaneously
Reduce distances/effort
Make motion easier

• Can the operators follow the Standard

Operation safely?
 Confirmation Stage

• Try to perform the task using the

rough notes

• This should be carried out in the

production environment where
possible as a trial
 Identify Main Steps

• A task title

• This will allow the task to be broken

down into smaller sections
 Identify Key Points

A Key point is a part of the operation, which if not adhered to could

impact on

!Quality

!Safety

!Delivery
 Writing a Standard Operation

• Keep everything clear and concise

• Write in pen

• Avoid waffling

• Avoid using Technical terms

• Use recognised and agreed abbreviations

• Use sketches / photos

• Do not assume prior knowledge

• Make it as neat as possible

Why should we maintain Standard Operations?

• To ensure it is being followed

• To ensure it is still the best current method

• Are there any changes to the spec?

 How to train others to Standard Operations

There are Six Steps to follow

Practice
Examination
Participation
Demonstration
Explanation
Preparation
 Next Steps

•Write a Standard Operation for wiring a 3 pin plug

•Have it bought off

•Write an actual Standard Operation for your area
