3. Introduction
These signs do not exist in factories to my knowledge, but
they could. Signs may have different functions, they can
inform, they can warn, they can direct, and they can
remind. This set focuses on the later two functions. The
signs that follow seek to direct and remind us of what we
are trying to accomplish in Lean. This not a complete set,
but an open set. They are to be a conversation starter, not
the last word. Take a look and modify these or create your
own. The goal is that we can move our Lean journey
forward through use of signs. Enjoy!
