The Five S's (5S) of Lean Explained (Plus 4 Pro Tips)

[@SCADASupportPh]

+100 here! thanks for sharing!

Great video as usual! This is a great refresher, as 5S events are considered a focus for the company i work for. Do you think you could talk about Kamishibai Boards on your next video? Or any recommendations on how to implement one? Thanks a bunch! You've been a lifesaver. Also, the PQPR analysis you recommended came in clutch. Thanks so much!

[@learnkaizen]

Awesome! Glad it helped and I’ll add Kamishibai to the video line-up. Been busy with some projects at work but wrapping up a complete Root Cause Analysis revamp this week so should be back on the videos next week! Thanks for all the support.

have you ever lived or worked in australia? some of your pronunciations in the six sigma videos have a slight australian tinge to them

[@learnkaizen]

LOL...No...but I did work for the Brits for over 7 years at Rolls-Royce Aerospace.

Hello! I have been on a journey of learning and improvement over the past year. I have been diving deep into the world of Lean Six Sigma and various continuous improvement methodologies such as Hoshin Kanri, Toyota Kata, TPS (Toyota Production System), Kanban, Kaizen, and 5S. You're absolutely right that Six Sigma is just one part of a broader toolkit for problem-solving and continuous improvement. Your videos are really helping me to step into the field and be successful, Six Sigma problem solving process is just a small part of it.

Edit* I have been on a journey the last year!

[@BeekersSqueakers]

I'm all in favor of 5Sing communal work spaces, but compelling someone to 5S their own desk feels like an overreach by the company.

[@learnkaizen]

Agreed, but I have to take full responsibility for this one. I was young and full of misdirected energy.

[@BeekersSqueakers]

@@learnkaizen That's understandable. In my mind I was imagining it as being directed by upper management, which felt more invasive. I do appreciate that you allowed them to set their own standard rather than try to impose a one. I've always struggled with workspace organization, so that flexibility would have been very helpful to me.

Thank you for your insights at the end of the video and clarifying that 5s is a journey. I think that's something a lot of people don't get. They want to implement this perfect system immediately with everything taped off and clean as possible. But this leads to staff getting annoyed and frustrated and also tends to create additional waste and non value adding work, which is not lean. As they say, if it's not broken, don't fix it.

[@learnkaizen]

Thank you. I feel like that’s a common thing to do…especially if the person implementing 5S is new to 5S…at least it was like that for me. Maybe I should make a video specifically in that topic…how to implement 5S over a year…without creating pushback and enemies. 😂…thanks again.

@frandycarlrubentzetienne7216 I apologize. Thank you for letting me know. I’m in Chicago working this week, I will verify why the links not working and send you the file..it the Kaizen or RCA download?

[@frandycarlrubentzetienne7216]

@@learnkaizenBoth of them seems not to be working properly

[@learnkaizen]

I just tested the RCA one and it came through…the Kaizen did not…I’ll look into both this weekend and respond to you here in the comment section of KZbin. Thanks again.
