Standard work is the foundation of the Toyota Production System - the discipline that balances stability with continuous improvement. But until now, most books have focused only on Toyota's factory floor.

This enhanced edition expands the scope, showing how standard work applies not only in manufacturing, but also in healthcare, banking, IT, logistics, knowledge work, and digital workplaces.

What's new in this edition:

? Expanded explanations of takt time, cycle time, and standard work documents. ? New leadership insights - how gemba walks, coaching kata, and layered process confirmation sustain standards. ? Fresh case studies from hospitals, banks, call centers, software teams, and logistics. ? Digital transformation focus - how AI, automation, and remote work depend on strong standards. ? Improved readability with polished grammar, smoother flow, and structured takeaways.

Whether you are a factory leader, nurse, banker, IT manager, or project professional, this book will help you:

Reduce waste and errors. Improve quality and speed. Empower employees with clarity and ownership. Build a culture of continuous improvement.
