ABSTRACT

The team should begin day two and day three in the break out room, at the time specified by the team leader. Day two is the first day of laying out the new line. The team will conduct the second and third Ss of the 5S program: straightening and scrubbing. Maintenance projects should also begin on day two. A list of items needed for days two and three is shown in Figure 10.1. The first assignment of day two is to review the standard work sheets and come up with at least two line design ideas. Depending on how big and complex the line is, it can be good to have these design ideas before the event. I have even conducted line design kaizen events to make sure that the implementation team had everything they needed for construction. However, typically, there is plenty of time during the implementation event to come up with line designs that will work. Just use your best judgment when making this decision.
