Originating in the late 1950’s in Toyota, Japan, 5S has since been adopted by many western organisations, across all sectors. The basic premise of 5S is that personnel who work in any geographical area of the organisation (e.g. the manufacturing area, the QC laboratory, the reception foyer, the warehouse), have responsibility for the layout, workflow, cleanliness and safety of that area. 5S is an ongoing, iterative, five step programme that results in
- improved workflow
- improved safety
- higher performing equipment
- higher product or service quality
- greater productivity
- a high standard of housekeeping
- greater customer satisfaction and
- Lower costs.
Objectives:
At the end of this one-day workshop participants will
- understand the basic principles of lean
