Implementing the Five S + 1 System - Creating the Visual Workplace
Program Description
If your organization is planning on taking the "Lean Manufacturing Journey" then implementing and maintaining the 5 S system (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize and Sustain) in your workplace is a must. Lean manufacturing requires a Visual Workplace in order to maintain its momentum and the 5 S System is the only way to get there. By implementing the 5 S system, you will decrease shift start-up times and reduce inter-shift conflicts. You will increase machine uptime and productivity; improve quality and morale; and increase profits.
Although the 5 S system anchors lean manufacturing on your shop floor, it is not limited strictly to manufacturing operations. These methodologies can be applied to any area of your organization that needs to improve efficiency and reduce downtime. If your organization is challenged to keep costs down and productivity up, then attend this program and discover how the 5 S visual manufacturing system can provide you with a solution!
