There exists no perfect environment and, as an engineer, it is made my goal to make a perfect environment. I made the first sheet I was working on work. Since I worked out the bugs on that one and improved the functionality I got an explanation of the 5s system and Toyotas Lean engineering philosophy to understand the impact of what I was doing. The Lean system and the 5s system are philosophies that all good engineering companies hold which say the organization of work and the standardization upfront pay off astronomically in the long run. Tyler, who I work with did his thesis on the last company he worked at about implementing Lean engineering, and the impact of it on the company because the company didn't hold the philosophy at all. Tyler determined that the company could save $50,000 a year by organizing workspaces, purchasing tools for each workspace instead of making the production team walking across the plant when they need a new tool on each assembly.
Needless to say, the time-saving organization like the work I'm doing saves a lot of money and stress. Today was yet another lesson in the organization and documentation of engineering.

Great work over the last few days, Bailey. Keep adding value to the company and to your resume. This is how you can contribute right away. What you will find is that over the next few weeks the team will continue to see your value and will involve you in bigger elements of the projects they are working on! Keep being a great representative of yourself and of MV.
