The first few minutes shows the before situation. Lots of embarrassing pictures here, but I don't like to point fingers since I'm sure we are have areas like this in our own plants. Plenty of examples of things not having standard homes. Boxes on top of cabinets, under desks, and on top of other boxes. Left over scraps in piles.
As the participants clean up, you'll see the junk yard created outside where their lugging the unwanted items. The pile just keeps getting bigger.
5S isn't just about cleaning up, though. Aside from the 5S before and after pictures, there's some insightful comments during the closing session (start at 7:13 in the video).

Is there anywhere I can download these videos to play them?
ReplyDeleteIt seems it needs flash to play them, which we don't have installed and I cannot install without Admin access.
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I don't own these videos. I find most of them on youtube or vimeo and embed them in the blog. Some workplaces don't allow youtube access or flash and you won't be able to see them. From now on at a minimum, I'll try to include the direct youtube link so that you can at least save the link for later.
