My story about the scooter – and what you can learn from it for the introduction of shadow walls!
Shadow wall and roller – small cause, big effect, if you know how it works....
My beloved scooter – a 50 cc Aprilia – sat unused in the garage for almost two years. When I finally wanted to revive it, it simply wouldn't start. You know that feeling when you get annoyed, it won't start, you search for tools, waste time, and you just can't get anywhere?
So I started again:
- I changed the battery,
- changed the spark plug,
- removed the carburetor and cleaned it – at least halfway.
But the scooter remained stubborn. I had invested a lot of time, money, and nerves – to no avail.
In the end, it turned out that it was only the fine carburetor jets that needed to be properly cleaned. A simple procedure – if you know what it's all about.
How did I find out? I got an expert, he came to me, showed me how it's done and what can I tell you, I should have gotten the expertise I needed earlier, but I knew better myself.
What I learned from this:
Without the right expertise, it takes longer, costs more – and ultimately, the frustration is great.
Introducing shadow walls: Do it yourself or rely on experts?
The introduction of shadow walls and the 5S method is very similar:
Of course, you can do it yourself—create standards, select tools, and define processes. But without the necessary experience, the following can quickly happen:
- The wrong tools are selected,

- Time and budget are getting out of control.
