Tiger recently implemented their own version of a Lean Process known as “6S”, in most circles of industry and manufacturing, that is a systematic approach to workplace organization. Tiger has taken it a step further by adding a crucial element of “SAFETY” to the program. This is now known at Tiger as the, “Geaux Tiger 6S Program.” The six steps/pillars of Geaux Tiger 6S are: 1. Sort 2. Set in Order 3. Shine 4. Standardize 5. Sustain 6. Safety The program was rolled out in the first of this year. The plan is designed to help reduce clutter in the workplace, place things in designated areas, promote good housekeeping, standardize our way of daily work routines, build a plan to sustain what we have set in place, and most importantly work and keep our areas and people SAFE! Geaux Tiger is about efficiency, competitiveness, and survival. It is a deceptively simple system that creates an organized and productive workplace. It’s not just about cleaning up and eliminating unneeded items. Geaux Tiger creates a workplace environment that can adapt and succeed. Chaos and unproductivity are your enemies; organization and efficiency are your allies. If implemented correctly and followed diligently, Geaux Tiger will lower cost, improved quality of operations, improve safety, increase productivity and create higher employee satisfaction. Tiger launches the “Geaux Tiger 6S Training Program,” All of the Tiger branches were introduced and trained on how to make the Geaux Tiger 6S Program come together for each location. A strict timeline was established, and all the branches are well ahead of schedule for the upcoming year! Vast improvements have been observed upon regular site / branch visits that are conducted every couple of months. The process is already showing great signs of cost reduction, cleanliness and greater morale at all locations! We will continue to improve on all 6 Elements as we grow and move forward in 2018 and beyond!
