Blog Post 14: Implementing a Lean Process

Based on our discussion in class today, implement and document a quality improvement process to the project/situation in which you performed a 5S process. This implementation must be based on the muda listed on the lean manufacturing wiki site. (note: there are several additional more modern types that you could utilize if need be)For the documentation, list/describe the waste you have identified and explain the process change you have implemented. Either collect some data that demonstrate your improvement, or realistically estimate the effect that your improvement will have on your process.

I implemented a lean process by eliminating all the waste that was cluttering my counter top. Almost everything I had on the counter was unnecessary and was only taking up space.  By eliminating all the unnecessary waste, the kitchen is clean and I have counter top space available for something useful.
