For eliminate activities that consume resources but are not add value companies have been used the standardized work resulting in significant productivity gains. This work investigate if the standardized activities are pure added value or if a re-evaluation of the standardized work technique in the productive process finds new opportunities for improvement. The article uses the research-action methodology applied in the production process of an assembly line of an automotive industry in the South Fluminense region in Brazil, where the reassessment of standardized work, a Lean philosophy tool, identified standardized wastes within the process, measured by the increase of productivity by 29%, without affecting the stability of quality and safety indicators.
