The first time I was involved in a 5S training program was with a typical American plastic injection molding shop of about 10 mold makers. We had been in business as long as plastic molding was a business, so there was a lot of " stuff" laying around. It seemed that everything had a place, but only a few knew the secrets of where it all was.
I was highly skeptical of this idea at first because I had spun my wheels for so long on every new program that the managers learned at the latest seminar. Most of these programs just took our time and yielded little or nothing in the way of results.
When I heard that it was Japanese, I got interested. At the time, they were decimating our auto industry and I figured they must know something we didn't.
