2. Assume you have been assigned as a call center supervisor with 100 full and part-time employees. The call center is not operating efficiently, and quality is poor. There is no quality management system in place and there is no quality culture. You have decided to use 5S, Lean, and Six Sigma to deal with the challenge.

3. Assume you have been hired to manage a video production studio that creates corporate videos, marketing videos, training videos, and live event recording/editing services. The owner wants you to focus on increasing profitability by improving quality and efficiency.
