Conclusions & Recommendations                          XXX
Comments: Additional recommendations could be (1) relating to facilitators—if a more experienced
facilitator were used how might this impact the outcome? (2) What if a different group of participants were
used—consider use of local American Society for Quality or Society of Manufacturing Engineers Sections
for example. It would seem that comparing the two group outcomes could be pretty interesting.
Recommendation:
XX Publish as submitted—with consideration of expansion of recommendations section.
ο Return to author for major revisions
ο Not suitable for publication in the JIT
XX Publish with minor editorial changes
