As the build season is coming to an end, I wanted to ask something that I've been mulling over a bit recently. Are there any teams here that have adopted any principles of lean manufacturing into how they run things?

As a little bit of background, I currently work for a small manufacturing company that is beginning to adopt practices like 5S and setup reduction, and I've been giving some thought as to how some of these ideas could transfer into an FRC build environment. I can see how 5S could definitely transfer over pretty easily as an organizational tool, but some others seem geared too much towards volume production to apply, so I'm curious as to whether any teams have tried any lean processes, and how they've been adapted to the high school shop environment. If not, maybe it's worth discussing for future seasons? I'm curious to see what some of the more experienced mentors have to say on the topic
