Synopsis: Y/N thought high school was going to be uneventful until she befriended Shoko, the laid-back senior, and met Satoru, the popular senior who takes her under his wing as her math tutor. Suddenly, Y/N’s life is filled with unexpected friendships, laughter, and chaos. As her friends rally behind her crush on Nanami, especially her friend Haibara, it’s hard to tell if she’s making progress—or just making a fool of herself!

---

The busy hallway of Kaizen High School bustled with energy as you navigated through the crowd, clutching a clipboard to your chest like it was a lifeline. It was your first time handling a school program, and to say you were clueless would be putting it kindly. The school board had entrusted the juniors with planning the annual talent show, and while you were excited, you were also in way over your head.

“Excuse me, where’s the—uh, the hall for—oh, never mind,” you mumbled, trying to stop someone for directions, only to watch them rush away before you finished.

You sighed and scanned your surroundings, hoping for someone to notice you. Finally, your eyes locked with a girl with short brown hair, a lollipop sticking out of her mouth.

“Lost already?” a smooth, slightly teasing voice cut through the noise. She had droopy but friendly eyes, and an effortless coolness about her.

“Uh, yeah, kinda,” you admitted sheepishly. “I’m supposed to meet someone for the event briefing, but I have no idea where to go.”

“That’d be me,” she said, pulling the lollipop from her mouth with a soft pop and pointing at your clipboard. “Ieri Shoko, senior and your supervisor for this disaster waiting to happen.”

You blinked, taken aback by her bluntness but oddly comforted by her relaxed demeanor. “Oh! I’m Y/N. Nice to meet you.”

“Don’t sound so formal. You’re not signing a job contract.” Shoko chuckled and motioned for you to follow her. “Come on, I’ll show you around. First lesson: don’t panic when things go wrong. They always do.”

As you trailed behind her, you couldn’t help but feel a bit more at ease. Shoko’s presence was reassuring, like she had everything under control, even if she pretended not to care much. Over the next hour, she walked you through your tasks, gave you pointers, and even cracked a few jokes to lighten the mood.

“You’ll be fine,” Shoko said, leaning back in her chair as the two of you sat backstage, reviewing your responsibilities for the event. “Just don’t try to do everything alone. That’s what I’m here for.”

You smiled, feeling your earlier anxiety ebb away. “Thanks, Shoko. I really appreciate it.”

“No problem. But if you bring me coffee every now and then, I won’t complain,” she said with a wink.

From that day on, Shoko became your unofficial guide to surviving high school life. She’d drop by during lunch to check on you, share gossip, and sometimes drag you to eat with her friends, introducing you to a world of chaos and laughter you didn’t know you needed.

And little did you know, this was just the beginning of your whirlwind high school adventure.

❤❤❤

It didn’t take long for you and Shoko to become inseparable. She was like the big sister you didn’t know you needed—always ready to offer advice, roast you mercilessly, or share the latest school gossip. One afternoon, as you both sat in the cafeteria, Shoko suddenly perked up, her eyes locking onto someone across the room.

“Perfect timing,” she said, smirking.

“What?” you asked, mid-bite of your chicken sandwich.

“Come on, I’ll introduce you,” she said, grabbing your arm and pulling you along before you could protest.

“Introduce me to who?” you hissed, trying not to trip as you stumbled after her.

Shoko didn’t answer. She stopped at a table where a tall boy with snow-white hair and blue eyes sat, casually leaning back in his chair with the confidence of someone who owned the place. He had a cocky grin plastered on his face as he scrolled through his phone.

“Satoru,” Shoko said, snapping her fingers in front of his face.

He looked up, his grin widening. “Shoko! To what do I owe the pleasure?”

“Cut the crap. This is Y/N,” Shoko said, gesturing toward you. “She’s a junior, and you’re about to scare her, so tone it down.”

Satoru turned his piercing gaze to you, and for a moment, you froze. He was stupidly attractive, and the way his grin shifted into something softer almost made you forget how to breathe.

“Hey there, Y/N,” he said smoothly, leaning forward with a playful glint in his eyes. “Didn’t know Shoko had a junior friend. What’s your deal?”

You blinked, unsure how to respond. “My deal? Uh… like, what I do? I’m just trying to survive high school without failing the exams.”

Shoko groaned. “She’s volunteering to handle talent day. That's how I know her. And for fuck’s sake, go easy on her, Satoru.”

Gojo chuckled, sitting up straight. “Don’t worry, I’m harmless. Mostly.”

You gave him a wary look, and he laughed louder.

“Relax, I’m kidding,” he said, reaching out to ruffle your hair like you were a puppy. “You’re kinda adorable, though. I can see why Shoko likes you.”

“Don’t touch her,” Shoko warned, smacking his hand away.

Satoru pouted but withdrew his hand. “Fine. But I like her. She’s fun.”

You weren’t sure what to make of him yet, but his teasing didn’t feel mean-spirited. If anything, it felt oddly comforting, like he was trying to make you feel included.

“Why don’t you join us?” Satoru asked, motioning to the empty seats at his table.

Shoko raised an eyebrow. “You sure? Thought you’d be busy flirting with half the school.”

“Nah,” Satoru said breezily. “Today, I’m all yours. And hers, if she wants,” he added, winking at you.

Your face heated up, and Shoko smirked. “Careful, Satoru. You’re gonna scare her off.”

“Am not!” Satoru protested.

Despite your initial awkwardness, the lunch turned out to be surprisingly fun. Satoru was a lot—flirty, loud, and full of himself—but there was something endearing about how he went out of his way to make you laugh. By the time lunch ended, you felt like you’d known him forever.

As you packed up your things to leave, Satoru called out, “See you around, Y/N! Don’t miss me too much!”

You rolled your eyes but couldn’t hide the small smile tugging at your lips. Shoko nudged your side, smirking.

“Welcome to the chaos,” she said.

And chaos it was, because from that day forward, Satoru decided to make you his favorite junior.

❤❤❤

A week after meeting Satoru, you found yourself regretting your life choices. You busied yourself with co-curricular activities, but in the end, it affected your academics. You were hunched over your desk, staring blankly at a math worksheet that might as well have been written in ancient hieroglyphs. The numbers and formulas blurred together, taunting you with their incomprehensibility.

“Need help?” Shoko asked casually, leaning against your desk in the study hall.

“Yes,” you groaned dramatically, slumping forward. “But my brain isn't braining.”

She chuckled, flicking your forehead. “Good thing I know someone who’s a genius at math and will definitely enjoy tutoring you.”

You raised an eyebrow, skeptical. “Who?”

“Gojo Satoru,” she said, smirking.

“No way!” you protested immediately. “He’ll tease me the whole time!”

“Probably,” she admitted. “But he’s actually a good tutor when he wants to be. And trust me, he’ll say yes. He thinks you’re adorable.”

Despite your hesitation, Shoko dragged you to find Satoru after class. He was lounging against a locker, chatting with Geto, when Shoko interrupted.

“Satoru, you’re tutoring Y/N in math,” she declared.

Satoru blinked, surprised, before his lips stretched into a mischievous grin. “Really? And what do I get out of it?”

“Nothing,” Shoko deadpanned. “Except the satisfaction of being helpful.”

“Hmm…” He tapped his chin thoughtfully before glancing at you. “What do you think, Y/N? Want me to grace you with my brilliance?”

You sighed, already regretting this. “If it means passing my next test, fine.”

And so began your sessions with Satoru. Despite his initial teasing, you quickly realized that he was genuinely smart. He had a way of breaking down complex problems into simple steps, and he was surprisingly patient when you struggled.

“You’re overthinking it,” he said one afternoon as you sat together in the library. “Just plug the values into the formula and solve them step by step.”

You frowned, scribbling on your notebook. “Like this?”

“Exactly!” he said, grinning proudly. “See? You’re a natural.”

“I’m really not,” you muttered, but his encouragement made you feel a little better.

One day during a session, Satoru suddenly waved excitedly at someone across the library.

“Yo, Suguru!” he called, completely ignoring the librarian’s glare.

You turned to see Geto Suguru approaching, a book in hand and a slightly exasperated expression on his face. He looked every bit as graceful and composed as usual, his long hair tied neatly into a bun.

“Satoru,” Suguru greeted, setting his book on the table. “What are you doing here?”

“Tutoring Y/N,” Satoru said, gesturing proudly at you.

Suguru’s eyes flicked to you, and he offered a warm smile. “Good luck with that.”

“Hey!” Satoru protested. “I’m an excellent tutor, thank you very much.”

Suguru chuckled softly. “I don’t doubt that.”

“Sit with us!” Satoru said, already pulling out a chair.

Suguru hesitated. “I don’t want to interrupt—”

“You won’t,” Satoru insisted. “We’re taking a break anyway.”

Reluctantly, Suguru joined you, and the three of you chatted for a while. Suguru’s calm demeanor was a stark contrast to Satoru’s chaotic energy, but somehow they balanced each other perfectly.

When Suguru eventually excused himself, you turned to Satoru with a blunt question: “So… is he your boyfriend?”

Satoru froze, his eyes wide. “W-What?”

“You guys are really close, and sometimes you’re, uh… so gay for each other,” you said, whispering the last part.

Satoru’s face turned pink, something you hadn’t thought possible for someone as confident as him. “We’re not dating! I mean… not yet.”

Your jaw dropped. “Wait, you like him?”

“Shhh!” Satoru hissed, glancing around to make sure no one overheard. “Keep your voice down!”

You grinned mischievously. “That’s so cute!”

“Shut up,” he muttered, burying his face in his hands. “I just… I don’t know how he feels, okay?”

You were too busy bouncing excitedly in your chair to respond.

“Y/N, stop bouncing,” Satoru palmed his face, glancing around again. “People are looking, and now they think I proposed or something.”

You froze mid-bounce, wide-eyed. “Wait, do they really?”

“No,” he deadpanned. “But they might if you keep acting like a sugar-high rabbit.”

“Well, I’ll support you!” you said enthusiastically. “Just like how you support my crush on Nanami.”

Satoru let out a chuckle. “Yeah, about that… you need better plans if you’re gonna catch his attention. Haibara told me you tried leaving him a note in his locker and forgot to sign it.”

You groaned, sinking into your seat as Satoru laughed. “That was intentional! I'm just too shy to let him know who I am.”

“Ah, I see. Later, don’t blame me if you end up as a forever single, husbandless old lady with a million cats,” he teased you.

“Satoru!!!”

“Hey, you two at the back! This is my last warning. Keep quiet or I’ll kick you out of this library!” the librarian shouted, clearly at her wit’s end.

“Oops, sorry,” you and Satoru said together, holding back laughs.

❤❤❤

It started with subtlety. Or at least, what you thought was subtle. You’d read somewhere that carrying books near someone you liked might catch their attention, so one day, you deliberately walked past Nanami in the hallway with an enormous stack of books.

Unfortunately, you underestimated how heavy they were.

“Whoa!” you yelped as the pile wobbled precariously. Before they could hit the floor, a hand shot out, steadying the books. You looked up to see Nanami holding the stack effortlessly, his brow furrowed in concern.

“You shouldn’t carry so much at once,” he said calmly, taking the books from you as though they weighed nothing.

“I-It’s fine! I was just… practicing my balance!” you stammered, your face heating up. You couldn’t believe you just said that. Practicing balance? Really?

“Practicing your balance?” Nanami repeated, raising an eyebrow.

You nodded furiously, your heart racing. “Y-Yeah, you know… for, um, sports day!” You winced internally. You were pretty sure that was the worst excuse in history.

He stared at you for a moment, probably debating whether to say something, before sighing. “Next time, ask for help.”

He walked away, carrying your books like a responsible human being. You stood there, mortified, wondering if you’d just blown it—or somehow made him think you were a weirdo. The lingering embarrassment had you wishing the floor could swallow you whole.

Another time, you tried the classic “bumping into him accidentally” move. During lunch, you timed your steps to match his and walked directly into his shoulder, causing your tray to wobble.

“Oh no!” you gasped dramatically as your pizza slice slid off the tray and onto the floor with a sad splat.

Nanami turned, mildly startled. “Are you okay?”

You plastered a sheepish smile on your face. “Oops, sorry! Guess I wasn’t looking where I was going.”

He picked up your pizza and handed it back to you without missing a beat. “You should be more careful. And you should take a new slice of pizza.”

“Right, yeah,” you said, mentally kicking yourself for how awkward you sounded. "Definitely need to be more careful. About everything." You forced a smile, trying to save some dignity, but it was too late. You could already feel the heat rising in your face.

As he walked away, you groaned quietly, sinking into your seat. Haibara, who had witnessed the entire disaster, leaned over with a grin.

“You’re trying way too hard,” he whispered, snickering.

“Shut up,” you muttered, slapping a french fry at him. You hadn’t even realized it, but it was too late to take back your ridiculous behavior now.

You are not someone to back down easily, so you decided to move on to your next mission during the art class. Nanami seems like the artsy type, so you thought it would be a great idea to compliment his work.

For today's class, you were required to draw and paint. You take a look at Nanami's drawing of a beautiful bakery filled with scrumptious pastries.

“Your painting looks so good I could eat them,” you only realized how weird it sounds once you said it.

Nanami seems taken aback by your comment, though his cheeks flushed. He cleared his throat, “Thanks, I appreciate your honest comment.”

You awkwardly stand there and give him a smile before showing him yours. “What do you think?”

Nanami adjusted his glasses and studied the paper. There was a moment of silence before he nodded slowly. “It’s an old man eating a loaf of bread. Interesting choice of medium."

Your heart sank. "It's… it's you reading a book."

Nanami blinked, looking back at the sketch. His expression softened, though a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "Ah. I see it now. It’s… unique."

Haibara, who’d been eavesdropping from the back of the room, burst out laughing. "Y/N, are you trying to charm Nanami or scare him off?"

You shot him a glare, clutching your drawing to your chest. "Art is subjective!"

"Sure it is," Haibara teased, still chuckling as Nanami quietly patted your shoulder.

"It’s thoughtful," he said softly, his words making your cheeks warm. "Keep at it."

❤❤❤

The café Satoru had dragged you to after your tutoring session looked like something straight out of a fairy tale. Soft pastel tones, floral decorations hanging from the ceiling, and delicate desserts that seemed too pretty to eat. You stared at the menu, blinking at the absurd prices.

“Satoru, what even is this place?” you asked, glancing around at the café's grand, whimsical aesthetic.

“Only the best dessert café in town,” he replied casually, lounging in his seat. “Pick anything you want. My treat.”

You hesitated, eyeing the menu again. “I don’t know. Everything here costs more than my weekly lunch budget.”

“And?” Satoru raised an eyebrow, his tone utterly nonchalant. “Do I look like someone who cares about a budget? Just order.”

Reluctantly, you chose a modest-looking strawberry shortcake. Satoru, on the other hand, ordered an assortment of desserts so intricate they looked like they belonged in an art gallery.

When the desserts arrived, you couldn’t help but stare. “You ordered, like, five things. Are you planning to eat the entire menu?”

He grinned, already digging into a chocolate tart. “Why not? I have a sweet tooth, remember?”

Taking a bite of your cake, you glanced at him with a smirk. “You know, you’re starting to act like my sugar daddy with all these fancy treats.”

Satoru nearly choked on his tart. “Excuse me?”

“Think about it. You’re rich, you take me to expensive places, and you’re paying for everything. It’s kind of suspicious.”

Leaning back in his chair, he narrowed his eyes at you. “Ridiculous. Just because I have white hair doesn't mean I’m old enough to become your sugar daddy.”

You giggled at his response. “I'm just joking. But does that mean you’d consider it in the future?”

“I’ll think about it,” Satoru said, rolling his eyes. “For now, I only brought you here so I wouldn’t look like a complete glutton eating all of this by myself.”

You raised an eyebrow. “So, I’m your guilt buffer?”

“Exactly,” he said with a smug grin, pointing at you with his fork.

You rolled your eyes but couldn’t help laughing. “You’re unbelievable, you know that?”

“And you’re lucky I like you enough to share. Now shut your mouth and eat, ‘sugar baby’ ,” he teased, sliding a macaron your way.

❤❤❤

It was a quiet afternoon, the kind where time felt a little slower. You were sitting on the steps outside the school building, your heart hammering in your chest as you fidgeted with the hem of your jacket. Nanami had just walked past you on his way to the gate, but you couldn’t let this opportunity slip. Not again.

Taking a deep breath, you stood up and called out to him.

“Nanami!” you said, almost louder than you meant to. He turned around, raising an eyebrow, the calm expression on his face never wavering.

“Hey, are you okay?” he asked, glancing at you with concern.

You hesitated for a moment, heart pounding, but this was it. You couldn’t keep running away from it anymore.

“I… I need to tell you something,” you said, suddenly feeling braver. You walked up to him, your face flushing. “I… like you. A lot. I’ve liked you for a while now.”

Nanami blinked, his eyes softening as he processed your words. He wasn’t one for overt expressions of emotion, but you could see the slightest shift in his expression.

“You’ve liked me?” he repeated, as though trying to make sure he heard you right.

You nodded, feeling your stomach flutter. “Yeah, I have. And I’m not expecting anything, but I just wanted to tell you. I thought you should know.”

For a moment, there was silence. The weight of your confession hung in the air, and you could feel the panic bubbling up inside you. But just when you started to feel the dread of embarrassment, Nanami gave you a small, genuine smile, one that made your heart skip a beat.

“Thank you for telling me,” he said softly. “I didn’t know.”

“I know I’m probably not your type or anything—”

“Don’t sell yourself short,” he interrupted, his voice soft but firm, and you froze, eyes wide. “You’re more than enough. I just… didn’t know how to bring it up. But I’m glad you did.”

Your breath caught in your throat as his words sank in. Was he…? No way. He couldn’t be.

Before you could respond, a loud whistle cut through the air.

“Finally!” Haibara’s voice rang out, and when you turned, you saw him, along with Shoko, Satoru, and Suguru, all watching from a distance. They definitely look like proud parents.

Satoru grinned and gave you a thumbs-up. “Took you long enough!”

Your face flushed a deep shade of pink as you turned back to Nanami, who was looking at you with an amused, yet reassuring, expression.

“I guess we have some support,” you muttered, embarrassed but amused all the same.

He chuckled, the sound warm and soft. “Seems like it.”

“Well, I guess I should go before this gets even more awkward,” you said, taking a step back, only to be stopped when Nanami’s hand gently grabbed your wrist.

“Wait. Let’s go grab some coffee or something. We can talk more,” he said, his smile turning more playful.

You couldn’t help but grin. “Yeah, I’d like that.”

As the two of you walked away, you heard Haibara cheering loudly in the background, followed by Satoru’s teasing voice. “About time, Y/N!”

But you didn’t care. For the first time in a long while, everything felt right.

In Stars and Time: Kaizen AU

Aka what happens when you project so hard on Siffrin that you put the whole cast into the torment nexus of your own job.

......................................................................................

Project Lead: Mirabelle

Having worked in just about every department in Change House, she was chosen by corporate global (“change god” as colloquially known) to head this project.

(Actually, Euphrasie just delegated the responsibility.)

Project facilitator: Siffrin

A new hire to the continuous improvement team. Except it's not a team. The last CI engineer left years ago and no one really remembers lean manufacturing mumbo jumbo.

Siffrin barely remembers the right acronyms, but the core tenants of respecting worker input and aligning goals are second nature.

Operator: Isabeau

Only operator from second shift who volunteered to help Mira on her project.

(smarter than he looks)

SME/Quality Manager: Odile

Relatively new hire (started just before Siffrin)

Years of experience in CRAFT machines from her previous job.

Project Sponsor: ——— aka “King”

Relatively new manager who says all the right corporate jargon to get other managers on his side

Has “frozen” all potentially helpful people in the company by making endless useless meetings

Will use any dip in yields to prove that the project team is wasting resources and should be fired.

And Bonnie!

Kid that delivers food from the local food truck. They like to stay for “snack time” with the team

Improves morale. Also pretty insightful.

Mad at Siffrin for calling them their cousin when caught in the break room once (“No one woulda minded! Dummy! Don't protect me!”)

Loop:

Mysterious consultant from “the Universe”

........................................................................................

Act 1:

Define Phase:

The team is nearly through a SMED event when they find that one of their improvements is affecting quality.

The team commiserates over Snack Time with Bonnie that the King is looking for any reason at all to fire them, but the project they've been working on is nearly done! And with it, they'll prove the King wrong and end his stupid reign over everyone's time.

Asking everyone what they'll do when the project completes, everyone agrees they'll go back to their own shifts/departments.

…

Siffrin looks through the whole newly implemented changeover process the next day. Despite Mira’s many worries, he finds nothing wrong with the process and new part.

They start up the machine again. A misplaced tool that fell inside destroys the machine.

Siffrin wakes up a day earlier and has a missed call by a councilor known as Loop.

Cutting everything else off for spoilers~

Act 2:

Measure Phase:

Loop goes hey you're in a time loop.

Offers to invite the others in for CI counselling. Siffrin refuses.

Siffrin starts trying to fix things with new timeloop knowledge.

Get the tool that someone forgot in the machine out before turning on.

Avoid email trails from the King to prevent being invited to eternal meetings (can sleep through, pretty nice loop)

Trip on a banana and get sent home the first day (painful but quick)

Learns to better guide the team through the project, getting each of them to offer insights and avoid being noticed by the King.

Finally, they all get to the presentation day. Finally, after many loops of fumbling, they have the King’s AND the CEO Euphrasie’s ear. Mira knows the right time to interject with important context to block the King’s attacks.

Finally, the King has nothing else he can say. Euphrasie invites the team to her office.

On the way there, the team celebrates because the King is finished, he fumbled so bad that no one is going to take him seriously anymore and everyone will be free!

Isa, who said he'd ask Sif something, chickens out last minute, says to come visit him on second shift sometime.

At the office, Euphrasie asks to speak with Siffrin alone after talking to Mira.

She starts to break down, telling Siffrin that the company is too far in the red to be saved and begs their forgiveness.

Act 3

Analyze phase:

Siffrin has a minor freak out.

Siffrin is fine.

Lots of little quests to better learn about the team and the King.

Trying to talk to the King to convince him not to fight during the meeting only ends up with him finding out about Snack Times. He uses this information to ban Bonnie (who caters the final presentation) from the premises and fire the whole team for divulging company secrets to an outsider.

Act 4

Improve:

Friend quests!

Mira

Talk through her worries about appearing at office events without a significant other (when the king is gone and the spirit committee is back)

Discuss the idea of her joining the spirit committee and arguing for language that invites friends, not just romantic partners.

Odile

Talk through her irritation that others assume she's a spy for the overseas competitor just because she worked for them prior.

Help her find the buried data of her predecessor in the depths of some old folders, talking with IT to get a specific file reader because it's an outdated file type, talking with another IT person to get access, talking to a few other people, before finally asking a random intern who has it as a PDF.

It's less about the data and more about the fact that Siffrin and others helped her without the expected suspicion.

Bonnie

Help them egg the King’s house, I dunno.

They open up about how Nille works excessively long hours because of the King overworking third shift and they never get to see her anymore.

Isa

Stay late one day to see the stars with him on second shift.

He opens up about having once been a quality intern under Odile's predecessor. How that kid in braids and big ol glasses knew practically everything about how to run CRAFT machines.

But, because of being part of Quality and being bad at communicating, no one was ever pleased to see that intern and the internship was the breaking point of loneliness and sadness being too much to stay the same.

He mentions how much happier he was having joined second shift as one of the guys until they refused to help Mira.

He insinuates that if he changes to be smart and buff that Sif might not be ashamed to know him.

The rest of the team bust in with a surprise “picnic”. It's wholesome and joyful.

Post friend quests, the others open up about more concerns or ideas they have and vastly improve productivity of the machine

They all beat the king and it's joyful and happy and they really really feel like not just coworkers but friends-

So why

Why doesn't it

Work?

Bad touch event:

On one loop, post-failed confession, Siffrin goes straight to Isa and pushes him up against a wall, tugs his shirt’s collar down and kisses his chest

Gets pushed back (because that's not workplace appropriate in the HALLWAY) and immediately loops.

Act 5

Control

Siffrin gets it in their head that clearly the problem is Mira having the final remark against the King. The data should win!

Failed friend quests where Siffrin just writes the entire perfect procedure at once and pushes it on everyone. When the others balk, he retorts with knowledge learned from the loops.

Everyone turns against him, arguing before shutting down all talk and just implementing changes.

He goes alone to the meeting with the king after endless hours of straight work, no food or breaks.

The team end up coming to their rescue with the help of Loop.

Ending:

Something something King was embezzling money and the team ended up getting him fired for that + the obvious emotional turmoil he put on everyone (Siffrin’s timecard as an impossible to deny proof to HR)

But Wishcraft!

Siffrin instead of getting big, he starts making wails of pain that damage electronics.

Euphrasie, who had called in for the meeting remotely this time, gets booted off the call.

The room light starts flickering and Sif is almost convinced he's going to cause a loop again due to all the damage caused when the others just sit by them and gently talk about how even if this whole company goes under, they all still want to hang out.

This slowly gets Siffrin to perk up. Each admit that all of them wanted to be involved in more projects with Siffrin. Isa even talks about considering a split shift to keep joining snack time.

Plus, they all gotta fix up third shift to let Nille back on a decent schedule for Bonnie! Why wouldn't Siffrin be involved with that??

Something something Isa confessing that he looked up the waiver from HR regarding coworkers dating. And admits he'd like to go on some casual dates with Siffrin if that was alright. Siffrin says yes to hanging out after work and leaves the dating possibility as a maybe.

Loop gets to retire early and rides off into the distance.

Euphrasie and Claude gets into selling bom- I mean fireworks.

I ran out of steam if you can't tell. I both badly want to flesh out the project they're working on and the insights each one end up making, as well as how corporate Change God loves Mirabelle and gives Siffrin a key but I ALSO just want to spend like 57 hours envisioning Isabeau and Siffrin in my old job's break room staring out the windows at the stars over the parking lot. Just. Vibing in the gentle almost-freedom with someone you care about but don't know how far you're allowed to speak that care aloud, if any.

A-anyways here you go bye!

How Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification Empowers Remote Work Efficiency in 2025 

The rise of hybrid and remote work models has completely transformed how teams collaborate, deliver value, and improve processes. In this evolving landscape, the Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification has emerged as a powerful tool for professionals seeking to drive productivity and eliminate inefficiencies no matter where they work.

The LSSYB Certification equips individuals with a proven problem-solving methodology that fits seamlessly into virtual environments. By mastering the basics of Lean and Six Sigma, professionals gain the skills to make meaningful process improvements, even when managing projects remotely.

1. Streamlining Virtual Workflows with Lean Tools

One of the core teachings of Lean Yellow Belt Certification is identifying and eliminating waste. In remote work settings, “waste” often comes in the form of unclear processes, overcommunication, duplicated work, or poor time management.

By using value stream mapping and other Lean tools, professionals can analyze virtual workflows, pinpoint where digital bottlenecks exist, and design smarter, more efficient systems that enhance team output without burnout.

2. Enhancing Accountability in Distributed Teams

Remote work requires clear roles, data transparency, and measurable outcomes. The Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification teaches how to implement metrics and process controls that keep teams aligned and accountable.

Whether it’s tracking project timelines or measuring productivity in real time, Yellow Belt professionals are equipped to drive clarity and structure across departments even when spread across different locations and time zones.

3. Applying DMAIC to Remote Work Challenges

The DMAIC framework (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), central to the LSSYB Certification, is especially effective for remote work challenges. From improving virtual onboarding to reducing delays in online collaboration tools, Yellow Belts use DMAIC to identify problems, test solutions, and maintain consistency over time.

This structured approach helps businesses improve performance, enhance user experience, and reduce rework in digital operations.

4. Promoting Cross-Functional Collaboration

With team members no longer sharing office spaces, collaboration can suffer. Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification promotes a culture of continuous improvement where everyone is encouraged to contribute ideas, share data, and work toward common goals digitally.

Yellow Belt holders can lead or support virtual Kaizen events, improvement sprints, or feedback loops that bring departments together for process optimization, even without physical interaction.

In 2025, remote and hybrid work models are not just trends, they're the new standard. The Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification offers a robust foundation for navigating this shift. From reducing digital clutter to boosting efficiency and fostering collaboration, LSSYB Certification ensures professionals are not just keeping up, but thriving in the remote work revolution.

Optimizing Manufacturing Success with Expert Factory Setup Consultants

When a leading furniture manufacturer sought to improve production efficiency and reduce costs, they turned to experienced factory setup consultants for guidance. Their existing factory layout was inefficient, with material flow bottlenecks and outdated batch processing methods slowing down output and increasing operational expenses.

Group50’s plant layout consultants, recognized for their expertise in lean manufacturing and process optimization, were engaged to redesign the facility. The consultants began by conducting a thorough assessment of the factory’s workflows, material handling, and workstation designs. Utilizing proven techniques such as Value Stream Mapping, Kaizen events, and continuous improvement programs, they identified key areas for improvement.

One major recommendation was shifting from batch processing to a continuous flow system, streamlining the production lines and reducing lead times. The consultants also optimized material storage and movement, improved workstation ergonomics, and integrated automation solutions to boost productivity.

Additionally, Group50’s experts introduced advanced manufacturing technologies, including IoT-enabled monitoring systems and robotic assistance, aligned with Industry 4.0 principles. These innovations helped the client minimize working capital and maintain high-quality standards.

The result was a transformed factory floor that enhanced operational efficiency, cut costs, and increased output capacity. Staff were trained on new processes and technology through targeted workshops, ensuring a smooth transition.

This success story highlights how partnering with knowledgeable factory setup consultants can turn complex manufacturing challenges into competitive advantages. By aligning people, processes, and technology, companies can create lean, agile factories ready to thrive in today’s demanding markets.

Continuous improvement has become a must-have business mindset to innovate and stay ahead of competition. Working in manufacturing, you probably know kaizen— the Japanese word often translated as “continuous improvement” or “change for good.” It’s widely used in business operations, but too often, kaizen is seen only as a set of tools or a one-off “kaizen” event. You might not realize the deeper meaning of kaizen – and its potential for accelerating impact when integrated fully into everyday practices. Kaizen is not just about improving processes, applying tools or holding a one-time improvement event. Kaizen is something you live and practice every day. It’s a mindset and a way of life, starting with yourself. What Does Kaizen Really Mean? When I moved to Japan a decade ago, I studied the language and discovered the true depth behind many words we commonly associate with lean manufacturing and the Toyota Production System. One of those words was kaizen. I learned that the two kanji symbols making up kaizen—”Kai” and “Zen”—go far beyond simply “change” and “good.” The symbol “Kai” consists of two sub-symbols representing “self” and “whip.” “Self-whip” suggests discipline—starting with yourself and the willingness to look inward to make personal improvements.  The kanji representing “zen”—translated directly as “good” – represent two sub-symbols representing “sheep” and “altar,” or put together to mean “sacrifice” When understood this way, the real essence of kaizen starts to reveal its true power. It’s the self-discipline to make sacrifices for the good—by letting go of and changing mindsets and behaviors that no longer serve you or your team. It’s about creating the habit to see every situation as a chance for improvement—for yourself, your teams, and the processes around you –to create better outcomes for the collective good.  I often play Devo’s song “Whip It” when sharing this deeper meaning of kaizen in keynote talks and leadership workshops. “Whipping it” is the self-discipline to improve yourself. As I explored in a previous IndustryWeek article, this means you have to have the discipline to forget everything you’ve learned about what leadership is about and create new habits better aligned with creating an organizational problem-solving culture. Embedding Kaizen into Your Organization As a leader or operational-excellence practitioner, one of the most powerful shifts you can make is moving from being the sole problem-solver to empowering others to solve problems. In the song “Whip It,” the lyrics say, “When a problem comes along, you must whip it.” When a challenge arises in your organization, do you “whip” the problem into shape or do you end up “whipping” the people involved? A culture of continuous improvement focuses on solving the problem, not blaming individuals. This is another example of the power of kaizen — whip the problem, not the person. This is the foundation of psychological safety. And importantly, kaizen isn’t about you as the leader personally whipping all the problems that emerge in your organization – doing all the problem-solving yourself. The art of unburdened leadership is about you doing less and instead creating opportunities for others on your team to develop the capability and confidence for problem-solving. And this shift requires self-discipline. When everyone adopts a kaizen mindset, you create a continuous loop of learning in your organization, where team members feel empowered to identify opportunities for improvement, collaborate on solutions and implement changes that move the organization forward. And it gives you the space to focus on other, broader organizational problems that need to be solved. By enabling your people to solve problems, you foster a culture of collaboration and ownership—and that’s where true continuous improvement transformation happens. How Can You Get Started with Daily Intentional Kaizen? Here are practical steps...

What is Bottom-Line Improvement?  

Bottom-line improvement refers to the strategies and practices that directly enhance a company's profitability by increasing efficiency and reducing costs. The "bottom line" of a company refers to its net income or profits, and improving it means making operational changes that drive cost savings, productivity boosts, and financial growth. Organizations focus on refining processes, adopting lean methodologies, and effectively managing risks to ensure cost-effective, high-quality production.  

The Importance of Lean Methodologies in Profit Improvement  

Lean methodologies, sustainable management practices, and risk mitigation strategies are crucial in achieving bottom-line improvements. These practices streamline production, eliminate inefficiencies, and ensure optimal use of resources, leading to higher returns on investment (ROI) and improved financial performance. In today's competitive business landscape, adopting such lean strategies helps companies stay ahead by lowering costs, improving quality, and meeting customer demands more effectively.  

Incorporating these methodologies affects not only production but also overall business strategy, as they reduce waste, improve turnaround times, and ensure that the business operates at maximum efficiency. 

 QSE’s Bottom line Improvement Program 

 Recognizing the importance of operational excellence, QSE has designed its **Bottom-Line Improvement (BLI) program** to help organizations optimize their operations. The program’s objective is simple: increase financial returns by using a systematic and disciplined approach. It emphasizes the importance of lean methodologies and quality management tools, such as Lean, Six Sigma, and Statistical Process Control (SPC). 

 QSE's BLI program helps companies analyze and improve critical aspects of their operations that directly affect costs and profits. These critical areas may include: 

 - **Project life cycle management** 

- **Investment recoupment** 

- **Product segmentation** 

- **Capital demands** 

- **Competitive costing** 

 By targeting these high-risk areas, the BLI program ensures measurable financial improvements, including a projected 15% enhancement in profit margins from the company’s baseline performance. 

 The 10-Step Disciplined Path 

The cornerstone of QSE’s Bottom-Line Improvement program is its **10-Step Disciplined Path**, which is designed to ensure sustainable improvements. The steps include: 

1. Problem selection: Identifying and focusing on problems with a direct impact on the bottom line.

8. Sustainability monitoring: Ensuring that changes remain effective over time. 

9. Developing procedural instructions: Documenting processes to maintain long-term results. 

10. Recognition and rewards: Celebrating achievements to motivate ongoing progress. 

 These steps ensure that any improvements made are not only impactful but also sustainable in the long run. 

Tools for Bottom-Line Improvement 

 To support organizations in their journey toward improved profitability, QSE employs a range of tools. These tools are tailored to address key areas of production, financial performance, and efficiency. Some of these tools include: 

 - Profit and loss statement analysis: To provide a clear understanding of financial performance. 

- Kaizen events: To implement continuous improvement initiatives. 

- Error-proofing and waste reduction techniques: To minimize defects and inefficiencies. 

- Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE): To maximize equipment productivity. 

- Lean and 6S: To ensure systematic organization and elimination of waste. 

- Six Sigma: To control processes and reduce variability. 

 These tools work synergistically to deliver significant improvements, helping organizations streamline their operations and achieve consistent bottom-line gains. 

 The Results of Implementing QSE’s BLI Program 

 QSE’s Bottom Line Improvement program guarantees measurable outcomes within 12 months of implementation. Companies that follow the 10-step path typically see a 15% increase in profitability. The program also offers objective controls, enabling businesses to track progress, recognize milestones, and pinpoint areas for further optimization. As a result, businesses not only achieve cost savings but also experience improvements in quality, productivity, and overall financial health.  Bottom line improvement is an essential strategy for organizations aiming to enhance profitability and achieve sustainable growth. By utilizing proven methodologies like Lean and Six Sigma, organizations can significantly improve efficiency, reduce costs, and position themselves for long-term success.  https://enhancequality.com/standards/guaranteed-bottom-line-improvement/

How to Develop a Robust Production Planning and Control Strategy: 6 Proven Tips

Production planning and control (PPC) plays a vital role in any manufacturing organization's success. It involves creating a production plan that outlines how resources will be allocated, schedules when tasks need to be completed and monitors progress along the way. A robust production planning and control strategy can help you optimize your operations, reduce costs, improve quality, and increase customer satisfaction. Here are six proven tips to develop an effective production planning and control strategy for your business.

1. Understand Your Business Requirements:

The first step in developing a robust PPC strategy is understanding your business requirements. You should consider factors such as demand forecasting, inventory management, lead times, capacity constraints, and resource availability. By analyzing these factors, you can create a realistic production schedule that aligns with your overall business goals. Make sure you involve all relevant stakeholders, including production managers, engineers, and suppliers, to ensure everyone understands their roles and responsibilities.

2. Implement Lean Manufacturing Techniques:

Lean manufacturing techniques focus on eliminating waste and maximizing efficiency. These methods include just-in-time (JIT) delivery, continuous improvement, total productive maintenance (TPM), and cellular manufacturing. By implementing lean principles into your PPC strategy, you can streamline processes, reduce lead times, lower costs, and enhance product quality. Additionally, lean manufacturing encourages cross-functional collaboration, which can foster innovation and problem-solving skills among team members.

3. Utilize Advanced Technology:

Advanced technology has transformed modern manufacturing by providing real-time data analytics, automation, and artificial intelligence (AI). Tools like enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, manufacturing execution systems (MES), and supply chain management software can significantly improve your PPC capabilities. For instance, ERP systems enable centralized visibility over all aspects of your operation, from raw materials procurement to finished goods distribution. Meanwhile, MES provides detailed insights into machine performance and downtime, allowing you to proactively address potential issues before they become major problems.

4. Establish Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

To measure the effectiveness of your PPC strategy, establish KPIs that align with your business objectives. Common KPIs include on-time delivery rate, inventory turnover ratio, cycle time reduction percentage, and return on investment (ROI). Regularly monitoring these metrics allows you to identify areas for improvement and adjust your strategy accordingly. Moreover, sharing KPI results with employees fosters accountability and motivates them to contribute towards achieving organizational goals.

5. Foster a Culture of Continuous Improvement:

Continuous improvement is essential for maintaining a competitive edge in today's fast-paced marketplace. Encourage open communication and feedback within your organization, promoting employee involvement in identifying opportunities for process optimization. Consider establishing suggestion programs or Kaizen events, where teams collaborate to brainstorm ideas for improving specific workflows. Remember, even small improvements can yield significant long-term benefits.

6. Train and Empower Employees:

Finally, invest in training and development programs to empower your employees to excel in their roles. Ensure they understand your PPC strategy and its importance to the company's success. By equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills, you can build a capable workforce committed to delivering high-quality products efficiently. Furthermore, involving employees in decision-making processes increases job satisfaction and reduces turnover rates, leading to a more stable and productive work environment.

Conclusion

A well-designed production planning and control strategy can greatly benefit any manufacturing business seeking operational excellence. By following these six proven tips – understanding business requirements, implementing lean techniques, utilizing advanced technology, setting KPIs, fostering continuous improvement, and training/empowering employees – you can develop a robust PPC strategy tailored to your unique needs. Keep in mind that successful implementation requires ongoing effort and commitment; however, the rewards of improved productivity, reduced costs, enhanced quality, and increased customer satisfaction make it worthwhile.
