English to French
Bus/Financial
General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
colloquial expression/text on Implementing & Sustaining a 5S/Lean Program
To start, it’s wise not to call 5S a “program.”
Programs have beginnings and endings. Employees have seen
many programs come and go, and they can be perceived as “flavors of the month” or fads.
xxxx is anything but a fad. It also should not be presented to your workforce as simply an amped-up housekeeping effort. xxxx is not reserved for janitors and cleaning crews.
It’s not about pushing brooms. It’s also not a list of rules handed down by top management with no input from the workforce.

"le grain de sel du mois"
ou "le grain de sel mensuel"
Dans la mesure où ces programmes sont lancés un par un, je privilégierais le singulier.

(de la ) matière vedette éphémère
Terme issu des années 30 dont se servaient les crèmeries pour annoncer la saveur de crème glacée primée ce mois en particulier et donc chaque saveur passait de mode le mois suivant. Selon la banque de dépannage, l'usage de «saveur du mois» est fautif en français. Voir http://bdl.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/bdl/gabarit_bdl.asp?id=4074
Je choisis pour ce contexte particulier : «matière» pour exprimer la teneur des programmes, «vedette» pour exprimer que c'est ce dont on parle au cours d'un mois donné et «éphémère» pour le sujet qui perd de son effet «en vogue» et ne dure pas dans le temps.
