I was the first to start our 5S plan of action by using my department as the pilot. Along with my lead man, we presented what we had, organizing and the tools we needed, and what our plans were for the department. We executed the plan and it was sent to other plants to look at. There were changes, but we were able to start the ball rolling and gave others the opportunity to get better and make us better.
