In this episode, good things are starting to happen:

1. Roland has joined one of the production improvement teams in a very positive way.

2. Phil engages the class on why reduced set-ups will reduce inventory.

3. Phil also gets Roland involved by having him explain the value to sales and marketing when set-up is reduced.

4. They learn about the complex concept of how EOQ (Economic Order

Quantity) and Set-up are related and how they affect inventory.

5. And now the ladies assembly team throws down the challenge to the production team that they are going to blow the men out of the water with their project. As she leaves them she says, "Ladies Rule." And the challenge is on.
