Lean & 5S's in Construction

Newsletter #20 March, 2007

This e-newsletter is written by Dennis Sowards to share ideas on the 5S’s and Lean practices especially as applied in construction. If you have ideas or lessons learned to share - please contact me.

Keep it Simple

Some suggestions on the how to do the 5S’s and keep it simple:

“Whatever you do, don't seal it in the concrete, as you have to improve it as soon as you've implemented it!
Better stick tapes than paint lines,
Better use movable tools holders than fix them,
Better not using shelves next to workbenches as they hold dust, hide nuts and bolds underneath, put stress on workers having them make a choice for the good part, create walls between people, cut view,
So don't put money in something you're going to shoot out in few days, weeks, or months.”
