5S is not a Program..It is a Way of Life...

5S know-how is something we can learn and acquire from seminars and in-house programs. Teaching somebody to drive without getting in the car and driving around the city will be useless and soon forgotten. Still that somebody ends up not knowing how to actually drive a car.

Much the same way with 5S. You can learn it but it is in doing that makes you really know it. It is in practicing the concepts that makes you develop the discipline. And continuous application with strict discipline will lead you to make it as a way o life.

I have been to many places all over the world. I believe that the most disciplined people in Europe are Germans and in Asia, undoubtedly, it is the Japanese people. This is reflected in the general cleanliness of their country.

It is a long way before we Filipinos will be able to catch up with them. This is because as a culture and as a nation, we primarily lack discipline. But, I do believe, given the right motivation and training, we are fast learners and adapters. In my heart, I know we can learn, acquire and live with discipline.

Motivation, Training, Continuing Applications at the work site and at homes will surely ingrain in us discipline... Discipline to do what we need to do even if we do not want to.... in everything including 5S Implementation.

Would like to know your reactions....

If you need Consultants to apply 5S in your Factory ...just respond to this blog.

God bless!

Much the same way in Filipino companies or companies within our country
