We had a really hard job choosing the winners, and we really appreciate all the effort that went into all your submissions during what was very busy time for you all. You will be seeing more focus on 5S throughout the year as part of our EMEA Housekeeping & 5S Improvement Plan, so please do keep sustaining the work you have done, and why not start on a second area of the site during the next quarter…”
