5S , lean manufacturing , one piece flow , 5S champion , red tag area
I've been part of this crap and seen it fail miserably every time , to the point a few companies shut down and outsourced to china once they pissed off all the local customers for time to deliver and missed deadlines
Luckily where I am now the profits are so large this bollocks gets absorbed into the day to day running and keeps a lot of useless managers in their jobs.
One fine example was watch said manager move 20 molding machines to improve one piece flow at the cost of Hundreds of thousands of dollars to then move them all back from where they started 6 months down the track , the brains trust is very large in my company
