Atricle Dump - How to Make 5S Work - Part 1
(Des Moines, Iowa - February 2, 2005) Behaving appropriately during every course of an interview is just one way to increase your success with finding a job. Here are some tips to consider before you’re seated across from your interviewer.* “Dress for Success.” Does this seem like an overused phrase? It might, but only because it’s true. An appropriately dressed candidate allows the interviewer to focus more on the character and quality of their interviewee because appearance is not a dist

You know it’s time to make a move.Your employer is a pain. The organization sucks. Your job is boring . . . and it doesn’t pay what you deserve. You know you could do much better somewhere else.So, why aren’t you outta there?The most common reason is that it’s easier to put off making a decision. Shifting focus and upsetting what we’re used to contributes to our procrastination. It seems we can always find justification for putting off a decision. So we wind up staying right
A cluttered and filthy work area undoubtedly mirror the kind of attitude and mindset the workers, as well as the managers, have in giving importance to their jobs.
On the other hand, a clean and tidy environment reflects how the employees (and supervisors) care about their jobs and work hard with due concern and consideration. Therefore, these people are more inclined to do their jobs better and are more productive compared to those who work in a messy and disorganized work areas.
However, there are companies who refuse to acknowledge their part in keeping the workplace more people-friendly and instead put the blame on the perceived laziness of employees when it comes to housekeeping.
Well, I have gathered different views on housekeeping based on my experience as a 5S coach.
Whenever I conduct 5S trainings, I meet employees from all kinds of businesses. I would always pose a rhetorical question: “What would change if your workplace would be clean and in good order?”
The answers vary but what surprised me is that everyone shares a common desire: to have a clean and orderly work atmosphere.
“It would save a lot of time,” a staff commented.
“I would be less irritated at work”, said one.
According to another staff: “I think we would be prouder about our workplace.”
These are some typical comments coming from ordinary employees—and to my mind, it is clear that almost everyone wants the work facilities to be in good tip-top shape.

In times of high unemployment and fewer job opportunities, there are some curious trends that develop. As job seekers flood into competition for fewer jobs, some employers seem to develop an attitude that prospective employees must be the “cream of the crop” with very little interest in wasting time on interviewing less qualified candidates. For those who continue to work, an employer’s market seems to add more stress, require higher standards of performance from the work force, and demonstrate less

Branding your comapny should be the first thing a company does. You have to convince potential customers to buy from you. Very few people have a monopoly like Microsoft or Ebay, Everyone else need to steer business to their company or product. When people think about your company, what is their impression. For my company, Solutions Ink, I wanted to portray a fresh, professional, ease of use type of company whoose product meets their quality needs while helping their business. I wanted to portray Solut

You can construct an almost infinite variety of calculators right within your MS EXCEL spreadsheet application.Here is how you can construct your own 10-year compounding interest financial calculator that would help you to see, for example, how much your $100 will grow at x percent of interest a year, on a year by year basis.1) Launch a clean worksheet in Excel.2) Reserve the cell A1 for your principal dollar amount. Think of this as your “deposit” in the bank.

A shift worker would certainly not be pleased if, one day, he would find his workplace dirty and all messed up. The first time it happens, he might clean it up. The second time, probably he’ll ignore the mess and clean it up again anyway—but the next time he will not be that generous to lift a finger. Soon he will stop playing hero and say: “It seems like no one else cares about this place, so why should I?”
This means that the overall level of “housekeeping consciousness” will gradually deteriorate. If we do nothing, we will end up in a situation where the least interested employee will implicitly impose a poor sense of housekeeping standard for everybody else.
The way I see it, a cluttered and dirty workplace is not a worker’s choice; it is a result of a bad system where a few lazy people can tear down the very fabric of industry convenience and labor satisfaction for all the rest.
This is, of course, unacceptable.
The more disorganized and unkempt the company is, the more reason why we need discipline, policies, rules and systems to maintain consistent standards of quality and safety free from wastes, errors, defects and accidents.
With these scenarios, this is where the “5S” approach can be implemented and put into practice.
What is 5S?
