Standardize the work. Train it right. Improve it forever.

Turn demand into takt, capture the time study, balance the line, and build authentic Yamazumi and Standard Work Combination Tables — then generate TWI Job Breakdowns and shop-floor Work Instructions your operators can actually train from.

Takt & Time Study Operator Balance / Yamazumi Standard Work Combination Table TWI Job Breakdown Shop-floor Work Instruction

The problem

Standard work that lives in a binder.

Written once for an audit, never balanced to takt, and impossible to train from consistently.

Steps captured once, never balanced

No takt-based design

Key points live as tribal knowledge

Training varies by whoever trains

Waste and imbalance never quantified

Revisions with no control or history

So the standard drifts — and the knowledge walks out the door.

The solution

Standard Work & TWI Intelligence

A standard-work and TWI workspace with AI built in — from takt and time study to operator balance, the Standard Work Combination Table, waste analysis, TWI Job Breakdowns, controlled revisions, and shop-floor Work Instructions.

Capture the real times, balance to takt, document the how and why with key points, and generate the operator-facing Work Instruction — with a qualified human confirming every AI suggestion.

Key capabilities

From takt to a trained standard.

Takt & Time Study

Turn customer demand and available time into takt, then capture multi-cycle observations — with outlier handling and value-added / necessary-NVA / waste classification on every step.

Operator Balance & Yamazumi

See each operator's work content against takt, the bottleneck, and the crew size needed — on an authentic vertical, value-coloured Yamazumi chart.

Standard Work Combination Table

A per-operator SWCT with manual, walk (zig-zag) and machine time against the takt line — machine time that runs past takt wraps to the next cycle, Toyota-style. Export per operator.

Waste & Kaizen Coach

A real Pareto of non-value time by type, ranked ECRS opportunities, and an AI kaizen coach that proposes specific, grounded countermeasures — as hypotheses to validate at the gemba, never guaranteed savings.

TWI Job Breakdown

The classic Important Step → Key Points → Reasons breakdown, with quality / safety / knack symbols. AI drafts it — and can read a step's photo to suggest key points — while you confirm each with the job expert.

Work Instruction & Shop-floor Sheet

Generate a branded, operator-facing Work Instruction and a print-and-post shop-floor sheet — with per-step photos, a control block, and the embedded SWCT chart. Export to PDF and Excel.

Readiness Scores & Scenarios

Readiness and quality scores, do-not-release blockers, and non-destructive future-state scenarios — plus an AI line-rebalance that proposes a takt-levelled operator assignment to compare.

Controlled Revisions & Training Impact

Freeze a standard as a numbered revision, approve it, and see exactly what changed — including which steps need operator re-training after a process change.

Designed for

For the teams that set — and train — the standard.

Manufacturing & OpEx Teams Industrial & Process Engineers Lean Practitioners & Sensei TWI Trainers & Team Leaders Pharma / Medical Device / CDMO Operations Continuous Improvement Programs

Why it is different

Most tools store the standard.
This one improves and trains it.

It is built on real Lean and TWI method — takt-based design, a machine-aware combination table, and Job Instruction key points — with AI that classifies value, proposes countermeasures, and even reads your step photos, while a qualified human confirms every suggestion.

Built around real-world experience

15+

Shaped by 15+ years leading Lean Six Sigma, Operational Excellence, and continuous improvement across manufacturing, life sciences, and regulated operations — with standard work, TWI, and sustainment built in, not bolted on.
