This little piggy…

Kaelie Middleton is an intern in the Human Resources department and shares her experience at a recent Lunch and Learn.
Draw a pig.
It must be a side view, have four legs, two ears, one eye, and a curly tail. Oh, and you only have one minute. Go.
Now have a friend do the same thing. Are your pigs identical? Probably not. No worries, the interns in the Operational Excellence department can help.
This past Wednesday, Amway interns lunched and learned while members of the Operational Excellence team described their summer projects. They discussed how they take a current process, such as a production line, and turn it into a more efficient procedure that saves time and money.
By analyzing each procedure, they are able to find where time and energy are wasted and propose ways to change the process. Reducing waste saves time and energy. One intern saved the company 46 minutes of productivity time and $1.8 million.
This time they helped a bunch of interns draw a pig.
Check out what our pigs looked like the first run, and then check out how the OpX team standarized the instructions to allow us all to become master pig artists!
