Josue,

The 5 "s" are: Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain.  You may
want to do an "ask Jeeves" on the Web to find related discussion forums.

Can anyone offer the phonetic pronunciation for the five S's that are the
keys to lean manufacturing?

Also, is there a forum similar to TechNet that focuses on lean
manufacturing?

Thanks,

Josue Barocio
