Great turnout at our recent 5S Workshop! 💡

We had an awesome session focused on bringing organization, efficiency, and safety into the workplace through practical, real-world 5S strategies. From hands-on activities to engaging discussions, it was great to see everyone collaborating and taking away tools they can apply immediately.

A big thank you to our presenters, Lanny Wagner and Paula Heiret of Command Medical Products, for sharing their expertise and leading such a valuable session.

We’re excited to keep building momentum with our Volusia manufacturing community—more to come!
