Housekeeping is always a tricky concept - especially in a busy workshop and office environment. Keeping everything in its place, and a place for everything, is a wonderful concept but the reality is often less achievable. That's why we introduced our 5S programme in 2015.
For those not familiar with 5S, it's a Japanese concept first developed to describe how to organize a work space for efficiency and effectively by identifying and storing the items used, maintaining the area and items, and sustaining the new order. Our 5S programme is based on the 5S methodology and includes regular rewards for those who are demonstrating real talent in the areas of:
S - SET IN ORDER
S - SORT
S - SHINE
S - STANDARDISE
S - SUSTAIN
So far we've had over 10 awards made - below are a few examples of our winners so far.

  |  We've also had some interesting staff feedback on their version of the 5S's - this one courtesy of Wazza who had clearly had a SUPER day out installing. This is his take on an ''alternative" interpretation of his S's on the day: We particularly love the S - SMILE - at the end! SAND: Its an everyday thing, good because less ticks! SMASHED: myself so hard in the face that I dislodged a tooth! SCAR: Have about 27 on me from ticks... lots of others from rugged, tough, extraordinary work + mental scarring from smashing myself in the face. SORE: see SCAR SATISFACTION: 1 of the reasons I love install...rhymes with pride! Just my thoughts, but I am SMILING as I type... SINCERELY! |
