I used to teach a Lean Certificate program for the College way back when Lean was the Thing. I had this one manager come to my class in 5S for the second time. I was surprised to see him and asked why he was taking the class again. He said that everything was working well, but he was concerned that if he did not walk the floor on a regular basis that things would start to fall away. He wanted to know how he could stop checking up on the guys. I cried, then told him that it was his responsibility as Leadership. He must demonstrate what is important, or the emergencies of the day will again take over. He left somewhat saddened.
Back to our forum. I have seen 5S done in so many different ways by organizations. Toyota did it via 3S, the Aerospace and Defense industry in the US did 6S and I recall visiting Honda's HPD Engine facility in Southern California. They did not recognize any S program but did it their own way. Here is a picture of their manufacturing floor. The file was originally 60 megs, so I had to reduce. Still pretty impressive how clean and organized their place was.
