Excellent choice! Fort Wayne began as an abandoned fort which grew into a frontier outpost. Opening of the Wabash and Erie Canals improved travel conditions to the Great Lakes and Mississippi River exposing Fort Wayne to more business traffic. Opportunities continued with the introduction of railroads. Manufacturing developed with a focus on gasoline pumps, refrigerators, and video game consoles. The Lincoln Highway was built followed by an airport. Skyscrapers were erected beginning with the Lincoln Bank Tower. It is now known for low cost of living, originating the Breathalyzer, baking powder, and being home to one of the country's largest rose garden which is a thing to do after Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) / Quick Change-Over Training. Visit the Lakeside Park and Rose Garden. Brown County State Park, and Hard Truth Hills are also popular.

Feel like this (5S) course was helpful and will give our employees some good ideas when moving to our new building. I wish more of our management group could have attended the workshop.

I had the pleasure of working with our Master Black Belt in a high-tech manufacturing company where formal continuous improvement was a new concept. I was impressed with his ability to translate the concepts and skills needed to start down the path of the discipline in a way that was not only accessible to the employees, but excited them and moved many of them into being active, positive participants. I saw an immediate improvement in overall engagement, which helped in areas well beyond the tactical and functional areas included in the improvement project, itself.
