The time we spent moving paper around to implement lean outweighed the benefits (One issue also was a team member in Europe, but that was not the major problem with using analog methods).

We're at about 35% higher efficiency with far better quality now, and hope to hit the 50% mark once the system is complete in the next few weeks.
