Key Terms:

Standard Work - The combination of SOPs, parts, tools and people required to perform an operation. Standard Work in Threaded is also connected to planned and actual performance metrics including cycle time, yield, uptime and OEE.

Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) - A set of instructions for how to complete an operation.

Procedure Step - An individual action within an SOP.

Custom Parameter - A user specified parameter that can be added to a procedure step. For example, a machine setting or dimensional specification.

Tool - A tool, machine, or device used to perform an operation in a value stream. See Tooling Matrix for more information.

Part - A component, sub-assembly, or raw material used in a value stream. See Bill of Materials for more information.
