All Wrong About 5S!

Having Fun

I was at a wine and dinner party at Boulder Creek Winery.

All was great.

During the conversation, the co-owner started to talk about 5S. I thought it was going to be a cool discussion about the application of lean at a winery.

This is going to be great.

Tell Me More

Mike Thompson, the co-owner, went on to inform me that 5S is:

  1. Sight: how does the wine look?
  2. Swirl: get the wine rolling in your glass.
  3. Sniff: what aromas do you smell?
  4. Sip: go ahead, have some.
  5. Savor: enjoy the fruit of the wine maker’s labor.
