Muda Walk for a Month is Over

This year's walk is over and I am gathering the results. Already I know that more people participated in it than in past years.

Some examples of what was observed during a Muda walks are:

- Workers looking for duct work without job# or job name
- Picked up filters at the venders warehouse - they off loaded them from their truck and reloaded them in our truck
- Looked over some of our inventory that we had stored for more than a few years
- Left over trim pipe and fittings that we have saved over the years was taking up to much room and the pile just kept getting bigger  

These are not hugh problems but all are opportunities to improve.  More examples to come
