    A passing fad, the boss's latest buzzword.

    It's common sense really, what's often not common is funding / resources for implimentation...

    Like six-sigma.

    In as much as anyone who uses it deserves a swift kick in the nuts and a disdainful look.

    It is really just common sense....

    If ya dont use it, biff it...

    Keep your workspace clean...

    everything has a place...

    simple common sense stuff really

    Every season has its fads, think back to the likes of "one minute manager", just in time manegment etc....

    There is always something you can take from them and implement into your situation, and any improvement helps, even if its just placement of a broom...

    Why.....from my experience its a way for some/all managers to try and justify their jobs...
    most normal people keep there work place tidy and organised around how they need it.
    Its a fucking factory not a repco..(as was wanted by above)...yeah waste money why don't ya.

    Great answer, nallac.

    Short answer IMO, it's a reasonable idea, ruined by management's overzealous desire to be seen doing something.

    Maybe we should have a Brown Bag meeting, to get buy-in from all stakeholders from the ground floor?

    I really cannot understand the mentality being employed in this thread....surely if something is going to improve your workplace then it has to be for the good of the company and through that your own future...

    We as a country are falling behind the line because of our kiwi attitude that basically states if it aint broken dont fix it....well history has shown us that countries can go from third world to powerhouses just by a shift of attitudes, example in point: Japan post WW2...The whole country has embraced the "Kaizen" scheme which is basically small inmprovements all the time, and look what that created...A country that is now one of the biggest players in technology and automotive production!

    Just as they can go ahead in a few generations we are falling behind....and what is the cause of that, ATTITUDE! The Kiwi attitude sucks...we dont take too kindly to improvement through change...That has to change!
