ABSTRACT
In the traditional Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control model, an improvement has to be shown and documented in Improve first. This does mean the project has been completed. The Control phase includes normal activities done whenever a project is closed, such as recording the best practices or notifying team members and the company that the project has been completed. The Control phase is used to communicate the plan for keeping the improved process in control and stable. In some companies, a control plan methodology or a control form may be in place. The leadership team should be trained in the overall concept, and employees directly involved should be trained on each area of 5S.
