Standardized Work Introduction-01

1.0 What is Standardization? 什么是标准化

Standardization is conforming to an established set of audible and visual signals and procedures that are applied equally across a plant, region, or division.

标准化是符合一套已建立的可听和可视信号以及程序，它们适用于工厂，区域或事业部。

Standardization is the key to creating a repeatable process, which in turn leads to repeatable levels of quality and throughput.

标准化是建立可重复流程的关键，而可重复的流程将带来稳定性的质量和产出

Without a standardized process, the output of any system will vary.  Standardization of a process ensures that everyone involved knows what to do and when.  Quality problems can be traced back to a specific process and addressed.  Throughput problems can quickly be identified and addressed (Quality, Volume, etc.).  Only with standardization can we have a true system.

没有标准化流程，任何系统的输出都会有较大差异。流程的标准化可以确保每个人都知道该做什么且在什么时候做。质量问题能够追踪反馈到特定过程并解决。产出问题可以快速识别和解决(质量，产量等)，

只有标准化我们才能拥有一个真正的系统

For example, we use traffic signals as a form of standardization.  Because of this, everyone involved knows what to do and when (light turns green = go, light turns red = stop).  Traffic signals are also very useful to determine abnormal vs. normal conditions.

举例：我们使用的交通信号灯作为标准化的一种形式。因此，每个相关人都知道该做什么以及何时进行操作(绿灯=通过，红灯=停止).信号灯对于确定异常和正常也非常有用。

For example, when the traffic light is red and a driver continues through, this is a very clear indication of an abnormal condition.

举例：当信号为红灯时驾驶员继续行驶，这种异常情况就可以非常清楚地识别出来
