"The 5s's @ Boeing" provides an overview of the principles of 5S and demonstrates that through the practice of sorting, simplifying, sweeping, standardizing, and self-discipline, dramatic improvements in efficiency can be achieved in the workplace organized by this principle. "5S: What's Next" expands on the first title by examining 'levels of excellence' experienced by groups that work toward having a self-sustaining and constantly process-improving work environment. The levels of excellence commonly experienced are: 1. Business as usual or "it's always been done that way" (prior to initiating program) 2.Understanding the principles of 5S (program initiated) 3. An overall organized and efficient work environment, processes documented (basic understanding of program achieved) 4. The area and processes are well documented and process improvement is introduced (higher level of understanding within work group creates an awareness of process improvement possibilities) 5. The area is documented and well organized; quality, efficiency, and safety are at their best; process improvement is continuous and the 5S achievements are sustainable. Each element of 5S, Sorting, Sweeping, etc., is also discussed in further detail and in relation to the five levels of excellence. The program provides a clear understanding of how a fully implemented 5S program develops and is maintained into the future. Appropriate for any work environment whether factory, office or laboratory. Total Running Time - 21:18, Closed Captioned
