A great video from Patrick Adams (CEO of PA Consulting Services LLC). Patrick is a MBA, Lean Coach, Six Sigma Black Belt from Allendale, Michigan.

I visited one company where a critical process underwent a Standard Work Audit every hour… performed by a different member of the team working in that process (the auditor role was rotated amongst the team). While ISO 9001 & AS 9100 auditors might question the “impartiality” of the “auditor” performing the Standard Work Audit, none of the “auditors” ever audited their own work. Instead, this approach was, essentially, a “buddy audit” (or “associate audit”) approach. This ensured that the entire team was “on the same page” in understanding the process.

Another great video, from Josh Darnit (Yes. That's his real name), is the “Exact Instructions Challenge”.

An important part of “standardized work” is having detailed instructions. EVERYONE creating a procedure or work instruction should be required to watch this entertaining video.
