Five S Lean Organizations Speech Outline

Picture yourself walking into your local mechanic’s auto repair shop. As you approach it, you see tires in random places, there’s muffler hanging awkwardly on a shelf next to a car battery and you can’t distinguish between costumers and mechanics besides the fact that the person with oil spots on his clothes make for a clear give away. What’s your general impression? Do you think you feel comfortable leaving your car with this shop? I know I wouldn’t. My name is Art Garcia, today I will be telling you about the Five S step process of Lean manufacturing and how it can be applied to everything from organizations such as this local business or military unit or office. The Five S step process is a tool that can help save time, money and improve efficiency in most cases if used properly. The Five S’s are Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize and Sustain.

Sort, in this step you’ll want to

As you start to set these standards revisit the first three steps. Take a look at the things that you could still remove; make sure things are in the optimal place and simply clean it all up. At that point you should be ready to set the parameters for how things will function. The intent of this step is to let others know that its not okay to revert to how things were before you started the process.

Then the last part of this process is to Sustain. Enforce the guidelines set, keep things and people accountable, and follow up. Make sure that the choices made work, that your organization is working at its optimal level. And periodically revisit the first few steps and make the changes needed to keep moving forward.

In conclusion, if the 5S process is followed then whatever it is applied to will be a faster, more efficient way of accomplishing any task. It will help a group reach a common goal, keep them moving in the right direction and cultivate a culture of forward style
