Using 5S Evaluation Forms in the Office
I got a great question this morning about our 5S Evaluation Forms.
"Can they be used in the office?"
The answer is yes. As you probably can tell from some of my other entries, I am in charge of our office, and I use the same forms here. They do not reference manufacturing or office. they do make reference to tools and machines, but I consider my tools and machines my computer and office supplies, etc.
This actually brings up a good point that Jon Miller made on Gemba Research's Blog, "One of the most common misconceptions about doing Lean in the office is that there is a different set of Lean tools for the office." Read the whole article here.
Remember, if the office is your Gemba, then Lean and Kaizen can work there.
