Current mantra at Timbercon for 5s is out on the production floor primarily and this cards helps remind those on the floor the meaning behind all the S’s
Charter process name: consolidation of 5s procedureExpand the process to include all operational areas within Timbercon Current procedure references strictly production area, even though Materials and Shop are area’s outside production
