Love the Kiosk and the Visual Board at the end. Wondering what Blue and Yellow lines mean.
I'm a Black Belt and implementing Lean one step a time...some people dont like change.

This looks like 5S or somthing.
Is lean manufacturing involving 100% use of visual aids..?
this is great, thanks for showing examples of lean manuf.

I noticed around 1:25 you panned across a component rack containing the boxes of components to be used in the assembly area. Does you use an entire box of these components or how do you control the rate of use of these components in the assembly area?
I also liked the rotating kiosk for information and the 5-S was pretty good as well. Just wondering how you control the rate of production (the lockbox's purpose?--cannot build one until one is complete?) Just wondering...anywho - cool vid!
The box itself in most cases is taken directly to the lineside storage with the exception of 4 components in the assy. The rate (TAKT) was determined as a result of customer requirements, available production time, and quoted number of personnel for the job. The lockbox was used whennever a line sensor detected a missing, misloaded component, which then requires a part to pass a sensor going down the lockbox entry gate before the stations will cycle again. Hope this answered your questions.

I got a few ideas looking at this video for my next kaizen circle project at work. I work for a Honda supplier and am into kaizen and quality circles in a big way. Although our components (exhaust systems and door frames) would be too large for the "supermarket" approach, the revolving kiosk is a wonderful idea.
I have also done some work through some 2nd Tier Honda suppliers in the Ohio area (near MArysville)...Glad they were usedful.

Really? I work at Newman Technology in Mansfield, Ohio. We are a tier 1 supplier of exhaust systems, door frames, and door molding. We also make motorcycle frames and exhaust. I sent the url of your vids to your associate involvement coordinator and plant manager to look at.
The irony --- I have actually been to your plant before. Years back I worked for Atlantic Tool and Die. I have gone for a number of years but have dealt with some of your QA folks. Good company there.. Good luck. --- Mark Netzel.
