Is yours one of the many companies that has given up on 5S? You tried it once—in great earnestness: Sort, Set in Order, Simplify, Standardize, Sustain (or some other set of “S” words that were supposed to work).
Have you committed to a new operational vision? If so, a lot is about to change—including the role of your supervisors. There are so many ways your supervisors can contribute.
What’s wrong with employee engagement? What’s wrong with getting people involved? Nothing—as long as you make supervisors an active part of that. Don’t be a company that supports operator creativity but forgets that supervisors are contributors too.
Our sustainment series wraps up today—at least for the time being. And what three things do we now know for sure? 1) A company that does not learn how to sustain its improvements will lose them.
Operators who implement the Visual Where (5S) to their level of need often believe that the company is 90% through its journey to a fully-functioning visual workplace.
It is a well-recognized fact that understanding WHAT to do is only half the battle in operational improvement. The other half is HOW—and then doing it. Knowledge + Know-how.
We are in the homestretch. Just 8 of the 25 leadership tasks remain—tasks that help ensure the success of operator-level visuality: Work That Makes Sense (WTMS).
