But what happens to lay people who do not know 5S, are they at a disadvantage in their daily life? Not really so if they make full use of their common sense. Even a housewife knows (for muri) to remember better, she should jot down things which she wants to do and save the hassle. If neccessay, she would buy a magnifying glass to assist her to read small prints. She would even buy her children hand phones for better communication with her kids when they are outside home (vigilance). As for stopping before yellow boxes, most motorists know the traffic rule. With a little attention and consideration for the public, they are able to comply with it (Mura). Muda: If people communicate before hand through phones and schedule their activities promptly, waiting and delay could be avoided. Preventive maintenance can prolong the life of things, and avoids unnecessary repairs in the first place. All in all, a bit of deliberate thinking, coupled with a heavy dose of common sense, will go a long way and would make things much better if we learn 5S as well.Zenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489706873295639555noreply@blogger.com
