    "dangers of horizontal surfaces." True at work & home!!!

    Joe- During our next gemba walk, we could look for unnecessary horizontal surfaces and begin to eliminate them. What do you think?

    If one of them happens to be a tall table for standing meetings, let me know. I'd like to replace the table in the Creative "War Room" with a taller version and eliminate the chairs. However, I need to find one with roughly the same circumference as the current table since we use it for design reviews.

    This provides real time feedback to those in the cell where the defects are occurring.  Now the team can work to eliminate the root cause of the defects by starting with the highest impact defects.  The bin with the largest quantity of defects has the highest contribution to poor quality.  This is essentially a visual pareto chart where focusing on the vital few is possible.
