Maintaining standards is a key management responsibility

If you're allowing a 5S Shadow Board to be half empty in your factory, or even worse have the tools, pegs or clamps on there be broken, you're sending a strong problematic message - that you don't care about standards.

This is just one example of a standard that might fall to the wayside over time, but it is a very important one. It's quite common, unfortunately, but also because Shadow Boards are very visual standards that are usually present in plain view in every department.

As management, you need to treat these visual standards with extra respect and attention - they are more than just their functional use, they are a symbol of a company culture dedicated (or not) to maintaining work standards and operational procedures.
