Start with small Physical Changes

Start by making small improvements to your workshop’s physical environment. Think about clutter reduction and the best layout for repairs, building, or even administration. This lean thinking makes a huge difference to employee performance and engagement. We see the physical first so it’s a great place to start before moving into the mental, emotional and spiritual or meaning aspects of lean.

A small note - start with small improvements by picking a little area to overhaul and learn the lean tool of 5S to help you achieve this. You don’t need to spend much money but will need to invest a little time and energy in learning, trailaing and reviewing what works.
