#The Modern Standard for Standard Work

The Threaded Standard Work Module is a modern solution to common outdated, ineffective, and inefficient practices. In the Threaded App, Standard Work is directly connected to the performance, parts, processes, tools and people in your organization and Value Stream.

In Threaded, you can view the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), parts, and tools required for a value stream, broken down by node. The information is logically organized, and can be printed or displayed digitally for an operator to follow along with during production.

This page will guide you through the process of viewing and creating Standard Work for a value stream.

Contents:

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 perforance 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.
