It’s a nice approach and epitomizes Kaizen for me.

“Non value-add work” – One would think that even having the “holder” is non value add.
What is true value add for this?
Maybe, creating a module that prevents drips at all?

When do you stop kaizen and the thought of kaizen on something IS the non-value add? Is there a point when you’ve improved it… too much?
