The project will not include anything we cannot control such as the software", or "Project will include my entire kitchen and how it is organized, including how we buy and store food, and anything else we can address that will help us make our kitchen more efficient."
3. The problem you are trying to solve. Use the Waste Template and 5S Template below to help you define your problem. This will be as best as you can define right now such as, "We frequently lose items in the QC lab, cannot find them, try to use them at the same time, have different methods and means to do our jobs. Our lab is a mess and we are frustrated and not able to complete our jobs because of it", or "Our kitchen is disorganized and we have too many of some things, and too little of others. We have equipment, pans, cutlery, and other items we never or seldom use. It seems whenever we try to cook a meal we repeat steps, forget things, cannot find things, etc.. It is a mess and we are all tired of it."
4. How you plan to finish the first 2 S's (Sort, Set-In-Order) and as much of the 3rd S (Shine) as possible by Module 5 when your 5S Project Progress Report is due.....
