Product Description
Nearly every company on the lean journey has taken
its first steps into the process by way of "5S", otherwise know as
Workplace Organization. The practice derives its name from five
Japanese words, each representing one of five steps. Roughly translated
to English these steps are:
The stability and visual standardization provided by 5S is an essential
foundation to every other lean practice and is visually attractive to
management. Yet the process which seems self-evident often falls short
of expectations. Most companies attempting 5S will relate stories of
back-sliding, lack of participation and occasionally even out-right
rebellion. This DVD, produced by GBMP deals with the “behind the
scenes” supporting activities that are crucial to sustaining 5S as an
on-going and fully integrated company-wide process.
“5S – 5 Challenges” identifies keys to success that are not explained
in those familiar before-and-after pictures often used to describe the
5S process. In the words of Bruce Hamilton, “we’ve figuratively seen
the before-and-after photos of the 98-pound weakling who transforms
into Mr. Universe, but we don’t see the key steps which effected that
change.” This 30-minute DVD explains and demonstrates those steps.
Through a series of common, daily events and settings, Bruce and the
GBMP staff identify the five challenges that every manager and employee
will face in office, clinic, showroom, factory or warehouse when they
implement the 5S process. Humorous scenarios will have viewers laughing
at themselves while creating critical signposts to illuminate and lead
the 5S effort in a direction that builds company-wide buy-in and
sustainability.
