Should 5S be done by consultants and management to a work area? How much involvement should the actual front line team have? Herbie learns a lesson when he tells Abby that her area is going to have 5S in place over the weekend. In this video we watch how Abby handles this situation using the typical approach. Later, he corrects his approach using a Lean Management style. The traditional approach is a top down approach whereby managers "know best" what improvements to make and force feed those improvements to the front lines. This does not value the employees; the front line team members will not buy in to such an approach. The Lean principles of Continuous Improvement and "Respect for People" require engagement from all employees. Kaizen must involve everyone everyday. This applies to 5S as well: Sort, Set In Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain
