5S Brother station

Manufacturing engineering internship

Station floor with yellow boundary tape around a cart

Starting point

  • The area had no defined spots for carts, material or walking paths.
  • Bins were not labeled.

What I changed

  • Added boundary lines and other markings.

The challenge

Getting a straight tape line turned out to be a problem.

To add: what you learned from Gemba Academy, the options you weighed and why you chose the markings you did, how you fixed the tape line problem, and the result (before and after photos, time saved, audit score).
