They too were badly burned by consultants in a LAME 5S engagement. At least management had the foresight (or mercy?) to pull the plug before implementation got worse. But, more consultants have come and gone during which time they hired me - as the lean village idiot FTE dedicated to the journey. Our "redo" of the last 5S is coming up in a few weeks and I'm using your article as a springboard for staff engagement and ownership. Since I can't escape as easy as a consultant (without screwing others over and experiencing guilt in the process), there is actually some accountability and measurement for me, the facilitator. We'll see how it goes - I'm looking forward to it to energize staff around lean. Thinking positive thoughts... I will be sharing this post with a division next week.
