KAIZEN 5S / 5A
On Monday, I started with further improvements according to the 5A principles. This requires many discussions with the directly involved instructors as well as the college...

In the meantime, a lot has happened, but let's take it step by step. The lighting behind the Guesthouse was replaced, and further efforts were made to optimize storage in the workshop. After successfully arguing with the 5S/5A principles, the instructor took the initiative and neatly organized the light switches. We then continued with the drawer stock, and we discarded a lot of defective materials or repaired what was possible. Additionally, another storage solution for hammers and the like is in progress. On Wednesday evening, we had a special birthday menu, consisting of a Kazakh chicken casserole, and optionally a bit of fondue. We enjoyed a fine Ethiopian red wine from Zeway with it.
I reserved Friday morning to go to the city with a driver to get some spare parts. I didn't find the spare parts, but I did find an ideal trash bin to equip the disposal station. In short, I bought the bin and introduced it to the person in charge immediately upon my return to Selam.
My NIV measuring device is also with me now; I could pick it up on Friday morning at 'Services along the Nile'.
On Friday afternoon, there was a festive meal, Doro Wot, chicken cooked in tomato sauce, with eggs (Ungulal), and Alicha, a potato-carrot curry vegetable, and of course Injera and lentils, as well as Shiro, a spicy cooked pea paste. Unfortunately, a volunteer is leaving us on Friday evening and returning to Switzerland. I wish him a safe journey back.
For me, after lunch, it was time to wrap up, do some paperwork, and tidy up, then it was off to the weekend.
