Employee Engagement Activities For Manufacturing Plant

Dear Syboriba,
Thanks for the interest. You can find quite a few articles at my website designed to advance knowledge and a book that tells it all in great detail, perhaps too much. I am presently creating a 6 hour online course for executives and managers teaching exactly what to do and not do and why the right actions are right and wrong ones are wrong.
Best regards, Ben

Dear Ben
One of your earlier queries on 'What is 5 S ' had gone unanswered.
I think it refers to the Japanese method of systematic practice.
There 5 words beginning with S in the Japanese language and often
the short form of 5 S is popular.
They stand for
1 S Sort
2 S Set
3 S Shine
4 S Standardize
5 S Sustain

Thanks for that, V.Raghunathan. I had not come across that before.
It seems that my reply is too short, so I am adding a few words to get it posted.
Best regards, Ben
