Yea, well.  New company uh, thing.  6S, don't ask me what it stands for.  I have to clean up and organize everything.  The wall behind me is lined with boxes, and my safe.  Not going to be allowed to keep anything under my desk.  And they're trying to explain that I can't build servers at my desk.  Another policy says I can't build servers in the server room.  Sigh

The dreaded 6S is Japanese quality assurance, seirei and others I have it at work also, I wish they would just say neatness, organization, etc., instead I have to have a little cheat sheet to know what they want.  I wish that upper management would just use the old Dupont or Ford QA

Yea, we have a check list too.  Thing is, I get the need for organization and neatness.  Unless I worked 12-14 per day, every day, it isn't going to happen without pulling time away from other projects.  I have a complete DR center to build in my spare time as is.  I like the idea as I understand it, but I only wish I had the time to actually do it.

I admit to having zero clue what it actually is besides a quasi philosophy to increase production by order and neatness.  Which sounds fine in theory, but if you spend more time working on neatness than the 'savings' in productivity, it seems like a step backwards.  I guess I just need to read up on it more.
