    By going through the process of creating standardized work that Tim and Jeff have outlined in this book, you can go from having process knowledge that is only held by two or three people, to being able to post the correct standard work for doing the work every day. ... There can be no doubt that standardized work is a base for a solid Lean enterprise system.
