6 hour's of mind numbing meetings
Might have ya beat on the stupid meter. They stopped all production. All million plus sq ft. To 5S, which is Japanese for cleaning. We shut everything down for a half hour and sorted, separated, shined, and I don't remember the other two translated "S's"...

Worked at a plant that hired a guy to implement that, we threw away hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of parts from storage because of 5S. It wasn't a week later after the last dumpster full rolled out it cost $35,000.00 for new parts that we just got done throwing away. Brilliant!!!

It's always been a thing here, five minutes at the end of the shift. A non-production Saturday here or there. It's part of the culture I get it. They've never stopped this whole train to do it though. I guess it's gonna be a thing every Tuesday for the foreseeable future. Or until we're close to missing a shipment. That's one of the other principles here, lean manufacturing and just in time. As long as nothing breaks...
