******Sort also means sort out the process or the waste stream into their respective component parts in order to identify each contributor to the process or waste. We eat the elephant one bit at a time. By identifying the components, more options become clear for changing or controlling that component. Sorting is the most important step because it is the first step to continual improvement.***********
