ABSTRACT
It is difficult to imagine a task or process that cannot be simplified. Everyone on the production floor must constantly ask themselves, “How can I simplify and improve this?” There must then be a system in place whereby these ideas will always be considered respectfully, and when they have merit, implemented. All employees must be encouraged to recommend improvements no matter how farfetched they might seem. They must not stop thinking just because it’s 5 o’clock, either. Chances are that they will see, almost every day, ideas that are applicable on the production floor. They must keep their eyes open and bring these ideas to work the next day.
