FACTORY CHAOS to LEAN CALM: Lean Manufacturing Factory Tour 

Glad it was helpful!

It's a good idea, but It's still "firefighting", there shouldn't be any screws out there for the truck to run over, if there are then that's waste. What if a visitor stepped on one?? and I see they're wearing work shoes with toetectors, but they're all different, meaning they're each buying their own shoes, probably the cheapest they can get. They should be standardised and supplied by the employer, selected to meet the specific requirements (like 3inch screws going into your foot). Fit magnets to the edge of each workbench, to catch them before they get to places they shouldn't be, or even better control the number of fasteners being used, count them in, count them out. If product needs 5 screws, and you find one on the floor, then you have to assume the product is faulty OR that the fasteners of of such a poor standard that the staff are throwing small quantities away.

@@Strider9655 It's a containment solution, rather than a root cause solution, 5S Zones and clean downs are always good, but I agree controlling the supply is key. What this idea is a fantastic first step and a great door to engage upon with the people. Say the Forklift picks up 20 per month it's a measuring point for your solution you put into place.

Glad you enjoyed it Brian!
