Lean Sigma Six

I was perusing the Texags Job Board & happened across this info on CContinuous Improvement Program method. It Fascinates me, and ties in very well with my personality type.

I am very excited about this, and see it as being used in every organization including the Church. Why we need to incorporate this into our lives is to improve our ability to be holy in all aspects of living.

Now, if I can begin to apply it in my own life, especially in regards to selling online, and making the most of my time, not frittering it away.

An example that especially pertains to me follows:

5S’s Method

Key Concept

Benefits of the 5 Ss Method

  • Improve safety and communication
  • Reduce space requirements
  • Increase compliance with processes and procedures
  • Boost morale by creating a pleasant workplace
  • Reduce time wasted looking for tools and equipment

5 S’s method/visual is the process of creating workplace cleanliness and organization including visual signals. The 5-S process includes five steps:

  • Sort: Organize and separate needed from unneeded
  • Straighten: Arrange and identify for ease of use
  • Shine: Clean and look for ways to keep it clean
  • Standardize: Maintain and monitor the first 3 S’s
  • Sustain: Discipline, stick to the rules and maintain motivation

By eliminating the unnecessary, establishing a place for what remains, and cleaning up remaining equipment, tools, and storage devices, clutter is reduced and needed items are readily found. Visual management involves the use of visual cues (e.g. road traffic signs and signals) to assure things happen and improve documentation.



Hopefully more later.
