It is interesting that sometimes building a box is not as easy as it looks. The most important step is cutting the boxes. These wonderful cardboard boxes are truly meant to be temporary; your vehicles will go through multiple iterations before settling on the final product and at that time you can go with a more permanent solution for organizing your parts and inventory. This process can do multiple things for you. First, it can be just a good team building exercise, it gives you and your team time to just talk. It doesn’t have to be about work, what the next step is or anything really, put on some music, throw some burgers or dogs on the grill, get the radio going and have a good time getting to know your team on a personal level. The other thing this can and will do is teach your team about good one-piece flow. This process will show your team that you only have to do work when it is needed, and that you can increase productivity and reduce waste at the same time. Let’s Build a Box

The purpose of this activity is to enhance box building efficiency, teamwork, and quality in the box-building process. It is designed to highlight the benefits of transitioning from an individual assembly approach to a one-piece flow system, emphasizing collaboration and defect prevention. Box Building Activity
