Lean 5-S and Visual Management for the Manufacturing Industry Presented by: Bob Halligan
Description: 5S is a technique that results in a workplace that is clean, uncluttered, safe and well organized. The 5S pillars, Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain, provide a methodology for organizing, cleaning, developing, and sustaining a productive work environment.
A 5S environment has “a place for everything and everything in its place,” with all office tools and materials ready where and when they are needed. Learn how 5S can help reduce waste and optimize productivity in any work environment.
Participants will also be able to discuss the main purpose of each “S” as well as any tool or methods used in each “S”. © The Quality Group
