Charter

1. Mission – To educate students for leadership in service and social justice through the promotion and coordination of academic

service learning and student-led community service.

2. Burning platform – Failure to locate needed storage space would cause CELTS to have to give up limited classroom or office space for storage of seasonal items, or would have force them to utilize funds to build/create new storage space.

3. Process Description – 5S area to allow more efficient use of space.

4. Problem Statement – 5S area to free up inefficiently used space to allow storage of seasonal items without taking additional existing space or building new storage space.

Work Place Scan Checklist (before/after)

Report Out Notes• Work Place Checklists

• Work Place Scan Checklists were created and scored before and after the project

and will continue to be utilized to sustain.

• Space Savings

• 117 ft2 of space was freed up after the 5S project.

• The closet was 99 sq. ft. By organizing the housekeeping supplies onto a single

shelving unit (6 sq. ft.), we were able to remove two shelving units that occupied 12

sq. ft. combined. The 6 sq. ft. shelving unit that housed the storage materials for the

CELTS program is now completely empty and ready to be “reloaded” once the fall

semester starts. Essentially an extra 18 sq. ft. of floor space in a 99 sq. ft. room was

freed, an increase in available space of nearly 20%!!

• If not for the improvements to this janitors closet/ storage area, the CELTS program

would have had to give up classroom or office space to store items that they use

seasonally or build additional space. Assuming new construction costs, this was a

cost avoidance of ~$11,700 to build storage.

• The installation of the mop sink has greatly increased the efficiency with which the

space can be maintained and improved the working conditions for the housekeepers

and office workers, not to mention the community served by the CELTS program.

• Maintaining

• The Work Place Scan List will continue to be checked and monitored; CELTS

personnel will go through Lean Awareness training. CELTS students and FM

Housekeeping staff will be trained to assure the area is sustained.
