GEN-OPS Standard Work Software by GENEO
Improve standards compliance, significantly reduce lost efficiency and empower every level of your workforce.
For Lean organisations, efficiency in working standards is integral to success. But as you’ll know, it’s not always as simple as writing them and following them.
Leaders and consultants in Lean operations, our founders wanted to build a software platform that would solve the problems organisations face in implementing standards, and empower their entire workforce to play their part in forming them.

GEN-OPS explained
Simple enough for everyone to use, and accessible without technical skills – that’s GEN-OPS. Built from our experience, and constantly evolving, it’s software that has the power to transform how workforces operate. As a long-term solution, it creates a legacy system that embeds procedures beyond any individual's knowledge.
GEN-OPS v4
Faster onboarding and consistent instruction
Clear, visual step-by-step guidance reduces ambiguity, speeds up training and ensures every shift follows the same method.
One source of truth for skills and training
Standards, training records and competency evidence are held in one place. Re-training needs are identified automatically and prioritised for the most important standards.
Operators contribute to continuous improvement
Frontline staff can raise improvement ideas directly within a standard. Reviewed suggestions appear in the change log and build stronger engagement.
Accessible interface that encourages ownership
Operators can suggest updates directly in the system, helping shape the standards they use and strengthening their sense of ownership.
Controlled governance of change
All edits follow an authorisation workflow with automatic version control, reducing administrative effort and keeping the shop floor aligned with the latest approved method.
Confidence and empowerment on the line
Operators always have up-to-date guidance and visuals, helping them work more confidently and consistently across shifts.
GEN-OPS v5
GEN-OPS v5 lets you model every product variation cleanly and without duplication, even in the most complex environments, to ensure every step is fully described and governed from a single source of truth.
It then creates an accurate Yamazumi based on the cycle times recorded in the standard work. GEN-OPS v5 removes the need for separate spreadsheets by generating Yamazumi charts directly within the system, giving you an instant, accurate line balancing tool built from real demand data.
You can write standard work and create mBOM directly from your standard work instructions, with bespoke templates and custom features when needed.
You can plan future changes and NPIs safely in the knowledge that all edits made to earlier versions automatically cascade to all scheduled future versions.
This makes writing and managing your standard work 40-50% quicker than traditional documentation, drives continuous improvement while removing errors.
Readily integrate GEN-OPS into your existing technology stack using our APIs.
The GEN-OPS impact
Improve efficiency
GEN-OPS’s functionality means no more worries with macros, borders, and copy and paste. Spend less time on formatting and more time on building quality standards.
Improve safety
Full compliance has never been simpler. Our process confirmation feature enables leaders to review standards and the work performed in the workplace.
Improve quality
Don’t let the complexity of products generate a mountain of standards. GEN-OPS captures the differences in one standard and presents the options as required.
Continuous improvement
The intuitive interface can be mastered in minutes and empowers your operators to begin taking ownership of their work and improve at every stage.
Future proofing your standards
Go pageless, not just paperless. Create standards that are built to last, then publish them in whatever format you need, whenever you are ready, whether that is on paper or in digital form.
