Editor’s Note: This is the fifth in the “5+1 S Series” of articles written by EASA’s Management Services Committee to provide “lean service” resources to members. The traditional “5S” program covers these goals: sort, straighten, shine, standardize and sustain. We’ve added safety to make it the “5+1 S Series.”

Over the years, how many of you have worked really hard to lose weight? Some have lost 20, 30 or 40 pounds over a 6-12 month period, only to gain it all back – and more – just a few short months later. Why? That’s because they didn’t permanently change their habits or culture.

If you correctly followed the first four “S” activities in this series which covered sort, straighten, shine and standardize, then your facility should look better, be safer, more efficient, produce better quality repairs, achieve improved morale, and so on.
