Work area layouts and storage techniques should be standardized wherever possible.</span></div><h4 style="color: #003366; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Sustain: Ingraining the 5S's into the culture</h4><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">It's tough to keep a 5S effort, or any improvement effort for that matter, going. The 5S's involve a culture change. And to achieve a culture change, it has to be ingrained into the organization - by everyone at all levels in the organization.&nbsp;</span></div></span></span></span></h3></span></span></span>Deepak Kumar Sahoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16865121865234221269noreply@blogger.com0
