What do you think? I feel that they have really done a great job practicing 5S and putting up the Visual Controls. You can also clearly seen that they are practicing one of the key principles of 5S which is “A place for everything, and everything is in its place”. Now that you have seen some good examples, it’s time to get your team to start working in your workplace. Lean is all about learn and immediately put into use what you learn. So, show your team this video and challenge them to come up with ideas how they can improve their workplace.
