Much hype has been given to climate change, depletion of natural resources, and eventual death of mother earth. So much money is spent by people and organization to inform and educate people on the cause and consequences of climate change. High level organizations, high profile people are involved, and the different modes of media are utilized.
While global concerted efforts are required, and having as key indicator to reduce the carbon emissions, this still cannot translate to what each one person, each one family, each locality , must do to contribute in saving Mother Earth.
In this regard, I believe that a global 5S Program is a key solution. 5S must be initiated and be done by each person in his own area of control. Starting with his home, and in his office or workplace. 5S will eliminate waste, and thus reduce energy consumption, and reduce disposals.
I see this waste management activities in action in Europe specifically in Germany. In essence, what they do is basic waste segregation and recycling which is just a small component of 5S.
I am happy to see this waste management activity in barangays and towns in Cavite initiated by NGOs but again it is not complete and comprehensive as it could be with 5S.
5S has a higher level impact and it can save Mother Earth!
God bless us all!

New Year! Time for 5S
Happy New Year to all 5S Blog Readers... I am sure you still can see and smell up to this time the thrash and smoke that the New Year revelry ushered in. Perfect time to begin the year clean through 5S Patrol and Check-ups for those who are already into it, and time for companies to set up their 5S System and Teams to bring order and cleanliness and efficiency to the factory this new year.
New Year certainly means , new goals, new policy deployments and higher performance goals for the entire factory. 5S can be very useful in making sure the factory achieves higher efficiencies.
At home, last month was the best month to do your year end 5S...but just in case you have failed o do it because you were on vacation, just like us, then now is the right time to do it.
Happy New Year...Let's get our 5S going!
God bless!
