Standardization with mlean
4 modules to standardize your operations end-to-end, guiding continuous improvement through real-time data from your plant
Included in this solution:
5S Workshop
Maintain order, consistency, and performance across every workstation.
The 5S Workshop module defines what “good” looks like at each workstation and ensures it stays that way with visual, up-to-date standards on the shop floor.
Issues are captured and tracked instantly, whenever they happen, wherever they are.
With the 5S Workshop module, you can:
Eliminate variation across shifts and teams
Give everyone a single, clear reference so work is done the same way every time
Make standards easy to follow from day one
Use annotated visuals so operators instantly understand what’s expected, reducing errors and hesitation
Prevent standards from slipping over time
Run audits, catch issues early, and assign actions immediately so improvements actually last
Visual Standard
Reduce training time and make sure every operator knows exactly how to perform each task.
The Visual Standard module replaces static instructions with video-based standards accessible on the shop floor, helping operators learn faster and cutting training time by up to 50%.
With this module, standards stay up to date, reducing variability and improving quality.
With the Visual Standard module, you can:
Ensure every task is done right the first time
Capture real processes and highlight key quality and safety points so operators know exactly what good looks like
Speed up training and reduce dependency on supervisors
Give operators instant access to clear, visual standards so they can learn and work more independently
Keep standards consistent across all teams and shifts
Manage updates, approvals, and versions so everyone follows the latest process without confusion
Skill Matrix
Make sure the right people are in the right place, with the right skills, at all times.
The Skill Matrix module shows real-time workforce capabilities by linking skills to each workstation.
By using objective data from audits and certifications, you improve workforce allocation, speed up onboarding, and reduce compliance risks before they become problems.
With the Skill Matrix module, you can:
Deploy the right people where they add the most value
Match operators to workstations based on verified skill levels, improving flexibility and avoiding bottlenecks when roles change
Stay ahead of certification and training gaps
Track expiring or missing certifications in real time and act early to prevent compliance issues or production risks
Get a clear, real-time view of workforce capability
See skill coverage, identify gaps instantly, and plan training based on actual needs, not assumptions
Standard Work Audit
Make sure every operation follows the standard, every cycle, every shift.
The Standard Work Audit (SWA) module verifies that shopfloor processes match defined standards, turning audits into a real-time system that ensures safety, quality, and efficiency.
Supported by our AI agent, Neila, audits can be partially auto-completed to speed up workflows (always with final approval from the operator) and automatically translated to over 20 languages to make global collaboration effortless.
With Standard Work Audit, you can:
Ensure compliance and process discipline
Verify every task follows defined safety rules and standard procedures, reducing defects, variability, and safety risks
Act on issues immediately
Automatically create and assign corrective actions for deviations, speeding resolution from weeks to hours
Identify improvement opportunities
Highlight the highest-risk workstations and underperforming steps to focus continuous improvement where it matters most
Maintain objective performance records
Replace memory-based evaluations with evidence from digital audits, supporting training, skill updates, and audit-ready compliance
‘With Visual Standard, we’ve cut our employees’ training time by half.’
