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

For this reason, experiments were performed for one triangular obstruction and twocylindrical and triangular obstructions in different orientations. While investigating the wakesbehind such objects can add to a general understanding of fluid flows, our studies can also be ofhelp to other engineering applications and physical problems that involve such wakes.Wake patterns depend on the dimensionless Reynolds number ρVd (1) Re= µdetermined by the density ρ, free stream
