TEAM SPOTLIGHT
ENCOURAGING AN IMPROVED MINDSET The Purpose of 6S
Justin is a Nevada native, and (between the yard and inside sales in Caldwell and Fruitland) he has worked with FBS for two-and-a-half years. He loves riding his motorcycle whenever he can.
Imagine you are hosting a birthday party for a loved one and you would like to make a special cake. You are making it the day of the party to ensure maximum freshness, so you have limited time. The problem is that the kitchen is a mess with dirty dishes and leftover ingredients from the previous meal. When you go to get the mixing bowl out of the cupboard, it is not there. It is in the sink with a pile of unwashed dishes. The measuring cups are still in your beach bag from making sandcastles, and your recipe was written on a napkin, which was used to clean the mud tracked in by the dog. In a panic, you struggle through the mess to make the cake. As you remove the cake from the baking pan, it sticks, and you think, I need to add butter to the pan before putting the batter in. I should add this step to the recipe . But you do not have time for that now.
Abel has been with the company for almost 12 months. He loves to bowl with anyone who’s willing to go with him. If he’s not bowling, you can find Abel spending time outdoors with his awesome family.
Andrew has been with FBS for eight months. Originally from Hawaii, he loves spending time fishing with his AMAZING wife and son!
Your guests arrive, you are flustered, and you realize you did not put up the streamers and blow up the balloons.
This is how it feels to work in a disorganized workplace and why we do 6S. The purpose of 6S is twofold. The first is to provide basic stability . Can you find what you need, when you need it, to get the job done on time? Secondly, it encourages an improvement mindse t. Lining the baking pan with butter could be added to the recipe for next time, if you feel like you have the time … and of course, streamers and balloons.
