“5S: Maintaining the Momentum” discusses why the 5S program has been a crucial component of efficiency at The Boeing Company, the world’s largest aerospace manufacturer. Developed for a Boeing audience, yet universally applicable to any enterprise that seeks continuous improvement to maintain a competitive advantage, Maintaining the Momentum is a capstone to the two previous titles.

The program begins by placing 5S within the context of a Lean Manufacturing environment and touches on additional concepts and practices that complete a fully evolved ‘lean’ system, such as Accelerated Workshops, Autonomous Maintenance, and Q.C.D.S.M. (Quality, Cost, Delivery, Safety and Morale). The program ties the efficiency of the factory to the efficiency of its offices and support groups, stressing the value of a holistic approach to integrating 5S into each interdependent business component.
