Standardize (verb):
To standardize is to establish or devise a set of uniform guidelines, criteria, or specifications for a particular process, system, product, or procedure, in order to bring about consistency, uniformity, and comparability. This is aimed at ensuring that all subsequent instances or iterations adhere to the same set of standards, thus reducing variation and promoting reliability.
Standardization involves the creation of a benchmark, a clear and authoritative criterion against which all measurements, practices, or outcomes can be evaluated. It typically involves formulating a series of protocols, rules, or norms that must be followed to achieve conformity and uniformity. These standards are often developed by relevant authorities, professional bodies, or industry experts, who have the necessary knowledge and experience to define and establish the desired parameters.
The process of standardization encompasses a wide range of fields, including manufacturing, engineering, healthcare, education, and technology. It is implemented to enhance efficiency, facilitate quality control, enable interoperability or compatibility, and ensure safety and consumer protection.
Standardizing can involve simplifying complex processes, harmonizing practices or procedures, and streamlining operations to reduce complexity and improve productivity. Adoption of standardized measures or practices across sectors or industries can also enable cross-comparisons, benchmarking against best practices, and facilitate international trade and collaboration.
Overall, the purpose of standardization is to establish a consistent and reliable framework that enables repeatability, facilitates quality control, and simplifies decision-making processes.

The word "standardize" is derived from the word "standard", which ultimately comes from the Latin word "standardum". In Latin, "standardum" referred to a military banner or flag around which soldiers would gather during battle. Over time, the term "standard" came to represent a specific measure or reference point used for comparison or evaluation. The suffix "-ize" was added to the word "standard" in English to indicate the process of making something conform to a specific standard or making it consistent with a particular set of criteria. Therefore, the word "standardize" describes the act of establishing or implementing a standard or uniformity in order to ensure consistency.
