    I believe visual aid is a good thing. People seem to understand visual items or pictures more than just reading a long plan. Using visual aid makes thing more simple. Yes, I am working on a visual aid , to where to return over flow tape guns. silhouettes of tape guns will be put in place with a hanger for the tape guns to be replaced after uses on an 5S board.
