5S Tip: When I would do my presentation on Lean 5S; what it stands for and what difference it makes to your work place, this exercise was the best tool I included in the presentation for the easiest explanation and understanding.
I have provided a link in which to complete in your business with your employees. It just needs to be printed and then takes 5 minutes to accomplish in a group. It is a great explanation, provides the best understanding and helps to change the culture in wanting to create the Lean 5S environment.

It is definitely worth taking 5-10 minutes to complete this exercise in a group environment as it stimulates conversation, ideas and teamwork.
Questions to Ponder:
Is it worth taking the time to do this exercise?
What will you put on the list to start sorting?
Create a priority list and slowly work your way through it.
