Overzealous 5S

Sometime implementing a system in an overzealous way is just redundant.

5S is a system, introduced by the Japanese to a more efficient workplace. The 5Ss are, well, just google up 5S and you would find it. Seek and it shall be given unto you... says the Lord.

One of them is Seiri, or sort in English. In sorting, one of the method is to remove clutters and unwanted, unnecessary item.

However, if done in fanatic manner, depletes the purpose.

I've attached to a hospital which implement 5S. In a very 'radical' way. Each lights are labelled, swith labelled. Everything was labelled. And it is a mess. Apparently, doctors are too dumb to know which light is which. Medicine trolley, yes, it is good, even advisable to label, but lights? It is just a light. Do you really need to label one? Wasting tax-payers money. Or maybe, they like Alejandra too much.

Another absurd thing to have is the '5S corner' occupying half of the notice board. With ribbons and laces. The before and after photo, which in my opinion is fake. I don't think that before the implementation of 5S, the workplace is a wreck like in the before photo. Done purposely for photo, perhaps. I think such 'corner' is another clutter, unnecessary thing. 5S should be in every staffs heart, not shown on the wall for the patient to read. Patient don't bother to read anywhere. I read because I'm bored, on the verge of hanging myself.

Yes, in a nation which regards the Japanese highly, everything Japanese is good, (not sure about hentai and tentacle sex). And how good your team is based on how Japanese the team is.

And everything from the west is always bad to morality.
