Visual Workplace Radio: Let The Workplace Speak

What’s hard about a 5S audit? Not much—except most companies can’t get them started. Or if started, can’t make them stick. And did we mention the push back and/or the indifference? But it doesn’t have to be that way. Join us this week as Gwendolyn Galsworth, your host and visual workplace expert, shares six simple—but powerful—ways to tweak your approach to the 5S audit and change—well, everything. For example, have you ever considered what would happen if you let your associates own the audit format and change the items that they get audited on? Have you ever considered letting your operators audit themselves? And maybe other departments as well? Have you ever thought about actually changing audit items—so they would trigger a response that was something beyond a simple YES/NO? And how about that scoring scale? Does it work? Could it work? It’s time to rehabilitate your 5S audit—to create success for the company and develop people as well. Tune in/learn more. Let the workplace speak.
