For this exercise we will be making the Cheek Cell Kits that we made before, however this time we will follow a Standard Work Document. We will gauge the impact of the standard work document, by checking the data we generate as we make the kits. The metric we will be looking at for measuring improvement will be time.

Each item in the SWD has been added based on the PDCA cycle, and has been shown to reduce waste without introducing error into the process, however in an environment of continuous improvement we are always on the lookout for ways to reduce waste that add value.

1. Log into the Document Management System,
2. Download the following documents
   1. “Assembly of Cheek Cell DNA Extraction Kit Standard Work” document
   2. “Assembly of Cheek Cell DNA Extraction Kit - Work Instruction” document
   3. “Assembly of Cheek Cell DNA Extraction Kit - Batch Record Form”
   4. “Performance assessment - Standard Work”
3. Read through the all documents,
4. Using the SWD and the WID as a guide complete the process of making a batch of cheek cell extraction kits. The same as you did before, except this time incorporate the SWD into the process the process
5. Answer the questions on the performance assessment document.
6. Scan and save your documents as PDF files
   1. Include the pictures you took at the end of each scanned record
   2. The lab computer has a scanner if you need one
   3. See instructor if you need help scanning and saving documents
7. Name the records in the following format then submit it to canvas
   1. Name of Form - Batch Record - Lot number of item created
   2. Example : Assembly of Cheek cell DNA extraction kit - Batch Record-20JUN2018-TJ-03
8. Name the Performance assessment in the following format then submit it to canvas
   1. Name of Performance assessment - Initials - Date (format DDMMMYYYY)
   2. Example : Performance assessment - Standard Work - TD - 20JUN2018
9. Email a copy to the document manager for storage in the Document management system. (in the future you will be responsible for uploading records as needed).
10. File the paper document in the filing cabinet located in STUDENTfacturED
    1. The cabinet has folders based on the item created. And they are filed in reverse chronological order (meaning the newest documents are filed with the newest thing in the front)

Learning Objectives:

- 3.5 - Make a product using a standard work document.
- 3.6 - Describe how a standard work document is used to reduce waste in the manufacturing process
