 * What's the problem?**
 * **Ask** - How were they producing product with the current manufacturing layout?
 * **Imagine** - How could the layout be changed to improve the overall production process? How could the number of croissants produced be increased? Could this also result in reduced costs?
 * **Design, Build** - Galaxy Desserts dramatically increased production levels within the croissant line.
 * **Improve** -    Improved flow with new layout.    Increased throughput by 100%.    Reduced per unit cost by 20%
