we still push 6S hard, but mostly because our customer likes the appearance of frequent discrete cost-cutting initiatives. maybe it's our corporation's management style, but most lean / 6S events lack follow-through and don't produce results. sometimes the process owner injects himself into the process to try to sway results, too. frustrating. a lot of people at our company are starting to think of lean events / kaizan / VSM as a waste of a week with a birthday party
on friday. again, though, the customer loves it.
i think sometimes american management corrupts the spirit of the japanese ideas.
