Here’s a video clip that will make you laugh about the “untensil” drawer. When we sorted though the drawer we found three different sets of measuring cups — everyone of them were missing the 1/2 cup measure 🙂

Thanks for your share, Luke. Looking for improvement kind of becomes second nature after a while. It’s gamification.

Thanks Michael. This was all in good fun. Which everyone needs right now.

I would like to start by praising your family for creating a porch bar as an escape during this pandemic. I really enjoyed your wife’s take on such a happy problem. I believe that her initial approach of sorting out items that aren’t utilized often, is something that is essential to speeding up most activities. For example, when I clean out my ‘junk’ drawer, I always toss things that I have no use for, which makes it faster and easier for me to find things in the long run. I’m very impressed with your ability to cut down set up from 1 hour to 8 minutes! I wonder if there is anything else that can be done using lean six sigma practices to make this process even faster?

It always feels satisfying to know that you have successfully simplified a process that has caused you a headache (or many). I bet after you did this you had a few (friendly) copy-cats asking you how they can mirror your ideas (which is also satisfying). What other at home situations have you simplified? Do you ever realize you have solved an issue, with out even realizing it?!

I also thought it was pretty neat how you applied simple principles of lean six sigma (i.e. removal of waste) in order to make a smoother break down process.

I also loved how you mentioned that you took a seemingly hectic process and applied fundamental principles of lean six sigma (ie. removal of waste) in order to make a smoother break down system.
