Sustainment
is usually the most difficult part of 5S. The attitudes and
activities must be institutionalized and
repeated until they become part of the culture and the
fabric of everyday work.
The
table below summarizes eight common tools
that help with sustainment. A combination of several or all of these
tools is usually necessary. This cannot
be outsourced or solved with software. Management, top
management, must reinforce it constantly with time, attention and
repetition. Former military people, especially battalion or company
level line officers are usually quite good at this. They are also
good candidates for Management Champion and for the Management
Watch. |
