Standard Work
#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The Threaded Standard Work Module is a modern solution to common outdated, ineffective, and inefficient practices.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.
