Want to introduce your team to 5S?
Long considered a foundation of high performing organisations, 5S is a simple and accessible technique that provides immediate and significant benefits by de-cluttering workplaces and providing a framework for maintaining high standards of housekeeping and organisation. This workshop provides participants with the tools and knowledge to enable them to implement 5S in their workplaces.
About our 5S Training Workshops
In this video, Chris Baker, founder and principal business advisor at Kallista Consulting, talks about how our 5S Training Workshops can help to transform your organisation’s housekeeping and layout standards driving increased productivity and building a foundation for further improvement.
I’m guessing you’re here because you want
Improved productivity
5S delivers productivity by ensuring that work areas are properly equipped with just the tools and equipment that they need to function. Once the clutter is removed and everything has a home in a sensible place, teams are able to quickly locate what they need as they transition from task to task, reducing changeover and cycle time.
Improved safety
By reducing clutter, improving day to day housekeeping and creating a home for everything, 5S reduces the risk of safety incidents, especially slips trips and falls.
Better quality & less waste
Standardisation and visual controls lead to improved adherence to procedure, resulting in more consistency in finished product. Greater consistency means fewer rejects and less wasted time and material.
But there are things that get in the way….
5S does not come naturally. Most workplaces we encounter that don’t already have an established 5S program exhibit large amounts of clutter, poorly laid out workstations and excessive waste as employees search for tools and materials or move longer than necessary distances.
While none of the concepts of 5S are particularly complex, in the absence of a formal structure and a shared knowledge of what is required, teams rarely achieve a high standard without practical training and a good implementation framework.
