Step 1. Document the current state of the concentrated area (i.e. Take Pictures) Document the date of beginning the process
Step 2. Be the primary point of contact between the leadership and the team
Step 3. Recruit Team Members and document expectations
Step 4. Provide Training to the team. (Score Sheets, etc)
Step 5. Motivate the Change, do a mock run of a small area. i.e. your desk, looks funny, but a labeled desk gets peoples attention. Ever do a 5S project on your garage, great place to get ideas from.
Step 6. Create a vision, Describe the desired state you want to get to. This is where the score sheets come into place. Once you get to a certain point it is hard to see improvement, weekly audits will help document progress. This must be defined before implementation, or arguments will insue.
Step 7. Develop support, Identify the stake holders and influence them.
Step 8. Manage the transition, Have a plan, follow the plan, and be commited to the plan.
Step 9. Sustain, Provide resources when needed, (shelves, labels, etc)
Step 10. Innovation, Be creative, get the plant manager to help with a project. Build new competencies and skills.
Not sure if this what your looking for, but its what I have used in the past and very successful.
