  14. Confirming New State • Outcome • Floor space realised and now re-deployed as a packaging and quarantine area • New tooling implemented to realise annual cost saving • 5S score improved by 1600% • Two new SOPs created, issued and displayed to help Standardise & Sustain 5S improvements Target • Realise Floor Space Utilization of £7500 • Implement new tooling methods to realise cost saving of £2250 • Improve 5S score by 300% • Confirm / re-write / amend SOP to reflect the requirements to maintain new state
