Five S+2

SUSTAIN

The fifth "S" is SUSTAIN...

Keep the momentum going or the first four S's will fade away.

Both Standardize and Sustain are about changing Five S +2 habits over the long term. If you change habits, behavior changes. . . And when you change enough behaviors, your culture changes.

Sustain refers to the commitment behind the whole Five S+2 program.

Sustain means you not only tell your employees to do Five S+2, you make sure they comprehend the program. Rather than just ordering them to fit Five S+2 into their schedules, you need to appropriate time. Instead of demanding their compliance, you need to recognize and reward Five S+2 achievements.
