Workplace Organization (all modules)
Understand the application of 5S elements (safety, sort, straighten, shine, standardize, sustain) and its benefits towards improving productivity, quality and workplace appearance.
About The Course
5S is the key to workplace organization, assuring high quality through reliability. A highly organized and maintained workplace promotes efficiency by minimizing NVA activity associated with movement and searching for supplies and equipment. Process flow is anchored by creating a visual workplace to quickly and reliably provide signals and cues. 5-S also creates a sense of front-line ownership of the system and process flow; it also allows staff to have control over their work environment.
When fully implemented, 5-S:
- Eliminates the need to search for items
- Reduces the probability of errors
- Increases productivity
- Improves quality
- Improves morale
- Creates a more professional work environment
