29. Testimonies I think that being in the Kaizen project and working together as a team effort has made a huge difference in the meal parts and the disc area and I can say that I was glad to be a part of it to make our area a more neat and productive area to work in. Roxanne Newlin Things were slowly neglected from the time this plant was new. Being an employee for a few years, I feel the changes to the interior of this plant will promote a more efficient, safe and healthier working environment for present and future workers. A lot of hard work and team work has really paid off for the Kaizen project. I think the disc and metal parts area looks a lot better. Hats off to management and the whole Kaizen project.
