Abstract


This paper pursues to discuss how the implementation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)-tools could support standardized work ( The Toyota Way, principle 6). This will be done through a theoretical discussion. Furthermore, a case study will show a practical example, -a web application as an ICT-tool solution to support standardized tasks-. The web application is intended to help the standardization of assembly instructions, help learn novice and experienced operators, and increase the knowledge sharing. The case study has no documented instructions, and as a consequence, there is a high risk that all this knowledge can be lost in the future.
