Do We Even Need the 4th and 5th S?

By Ron Pereira Updated on May 17th, 2017

Jon Miller – my friend, mentor, and now business partner – has asked his readers some extremely interesting questions regarding whether the 4th and 5th S, in 5S are even needed.

Your feedback will be used by us as we finish off our “5S and Visual Management” course that will soon be added to the existing Gemba Academy Transforming your Value Streams course.

So, just this once, I am going to ask you not leave comments below… instead I’d really appreciate you flooding Jon’s blog and leaving your comments over there.

So, please zoom on over to the Gemba Academy Blog and offer your thoughts and help us shape and mold the best 5S and Visual Management course ever created.  Thanks!
