I stepped on a slug of scrap in the delimited walking aisle and almost fell. I picked up the slug and handed it to the plant manager who was accompanying us on the tour and showed him where I found it.

Let's hope he went back and talked to the employees in that area later.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463767332463542390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16711894.post-13995594436764917912007-06-19T02:54:00.000-04:002007-06-19T02:54:00.000-04:00MikeI see this attitude in so many companies.

Perhaps a gravity fed storage solution could be implemented designed with the correct dimensions to hold the right number of component bins so that they whole installation occupies the space - no more, no less - to fulfil the requirement.
