What people get wrong.
Three things we hear before almost every 5S Implementation course, and what's actually true.
5S is just a big tidy-up.
Reality
Tidying is the easy part. The value is in the standards and habits that make problems visible and keep the area right.
5S only works in factories.
Reality
The same principles work in offices, shared drives, stores, labs and hospital wards. Anywhere people waste time searching.
Once it's done, it's done.
Reality
Without Sustain, most areas drift back within weeks. Regular short audits and leader walks are what keep it working.
