Description:
The importance of 5S is largely misunderstood and underappreciated as a tool to be used to lay the foundation of a successful lean transformation. As such, top management’s role in rolling out 5S is minimized and delegated to those with lower responsibility because it is perceived to be a tool that does not require top management’s involvement. This is absolutely an incorrect assumption because without top management’s involvement, 5S and many of the benefits of a lean transformation will not be realized.
