5S: The Team Descends (The Saga Continues)

Pierre Dolet sends another Note to The Cube about his company's 5S implementation . . .

They developed a Core Team or a Tiger Team or a Softball Team (they're all wearing blue polo shirts and baseball caps, so...) - a group of people who disappear for half the day, every day, with the 5S consultants. This went on for a week.

And then The Team descended on us.

Suddenly, there are RED TAGS everywhere. My cubicle looks like a Christmas tree or a fire sale advertisement. I'm not sure why. Nobody has spoken to me - I wasn't there at the time - they just swarmed into the space, attached their tags, and left. "Don't touch the tags" was the only direction I received, after the fact.

It was too late: I had already removed a few - the tags were in my way and on some stuff I was working with. But The Team said, "Don't touch" - so I lied.

What does it mean?

Will I go to hell?

The Cube answers: Probably.
