Episode Description
What does RESPECT FOR THE INDVIDUAL mean? How do we operationalize it? How do we translate RESPECT into behavior? In this second week on the “Nine Tools That Build & Sustain,” Gwendolyn Galsworth (your host and visual expert), presents the Visual Workplace Checklist—a core tool that value-add associates use to maintain and then improve current levels of visuality in their areas. Grounded in the I-driven principle, this checklist is wholly owned by area associates because they: 1) choose checklist items/tasks; 2) administer the checklist themselves; 3) score each item/task based on the extent to which it is complete/incomplete. Plus, checklist items evolve over time. Unlike static audits, this is a dynamic process, made even more so by the rotation of the so-called Checklist Patrol. Tune in and learn how to re-vitalize your 5S by developing knowledge, high-level application, and self-leadership. Also learn ways to make visual workplace supplies a part of your sustainment framework.
