The document describes a Kaizen improvement project to address issues with manipulating a diaphragm during an operation. Rotating eye bolts were procured to stay attached to the diaphragm throughout the process, eliminating the need to search for eyebolts and reducing the risk of crushing injuries to fingers or feet. This is expected to save approximately 480 hours of manipulation time per year, worth $48,000, as well as avoid potential injury costs of $192,178 through increased safety.
