c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 A 6S EXPERIENCE IN A MANFACTURING FACILITYABSTRACTGlobalization of science and technology has caused competitive pressures to continue unabatedin manufacturing business. Product prices continue to fall while production costs rise. In order toreduce production costs, some companies look to improved technology, employee layoff, facilityrelocation, etc. The search for operational excellence seems to be more intense with each passingday. Many companies have adopted Lean, Six Sigma or Total Productive Maintenance initiativesfor improving operational effectiveness and efficiency. 5S is a traditional management techniquethat helps organize a workplace by making it clean and free of

On the other hand, optics and E&M wave theoriesare now becoming key components of core engineering knowledge as they have becomeincreasingly important in modern industries and electrical engineering practices.
