All companies look very nice when the overseas management arrives for their regular but rare visits. Unfortunately, in some companies days or even weeks of preparation and cleaning (with the related drops in productivity) are necessary to achieve these results.

By checking the production site much more regularly and doing several 5S and Six Sigma implementations, the workshop as well as the office area of such a company were significantly improved to a state where the factory was always ready for visitors. In addition, a more than 50% increase in productivity per head was achieved within less than two years by progressive and continuous actions.
