TOPIC: This is the Holiday meeting at Maker Works. We will have a light meal and a Maker Works Tour including their 5S and SOP strategies.
Abstract: Attendees will tour the 14,000 sq ft makerspace, including the wood, metal, electronics, textiles, and jewelry studio. We'll run demonstrations on a couple of our CNC machines and review examples of where we use 5S and SOPs to maintain and improve the space.
About Maker Works: Located in Ann Arbor, MI, Maker Works was established in 2011 to bring a focus back to making things. In our 14,000 square foot building you'll find:
- a great selection of tools for wood, metal, textiles, plastic, jewelry, and electronics
- instruction on the safe and efficient use of these tools
- space to make things
- a welcoming community of interesting, creative people making things
One of our co-founders is Tom Root, who has done significant work with both Zingerman's and Maker Works to facilitate a culture of continuous improvement.
