Subject: A 5S organized work space
I'm doing an inpromtu survey.... I'm asking all Manufacturing/Process Engineers...
Do you practice "5S" in your work space? (Desk, Cubical, Office, etc) I've been in the industry for almost 20 years.... I completely understand the concept of 5S. Yet it does not fit in my application. Nor have I ever met/worked with an Engineer whose "work space" was completely organized and free of clutter.
Am I in the minority?
How's your work space look?
Is it possible to be juggeling nine balls and still have a free hand to organize and put things away?
5S. Everything has a place, and nothing should be used that doesn't have a dedicated place.
My place for everything is "The Pile" on my desk. If only it were that easy... :-/
