5S for Workplace Organisation
Introduction
​
5S is an organisational method. It describes how to organise the workplace by improving/ optimising the layout of the workspcespace. This improves the flow of materials and information in a business section.
​
It originated from the Toyota Production System (TPS) and uses a list of five Japanese words that start with the letter "S": Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke.
-
These have been broadly translated in English as: Sort, Set In order, Shine, Standardize and Sustain.
The above list describes how to organize a work space for efficiency and effectiveness by identifying and storing the items used, maintaining the area and items, and sustaining the new order. The decision-making process usually comes from a dialogue about standardization, which builds understanding among employees of how they should do the work
​
It is one of the most widely adopted techniques from the Lean manufacturing toolbox. The main objective of 5S is to create a clean, orderly, and safe working environment, where there is a place for everything and everything is in its place, clean and ready to use. 5S makes it easier for people to do this without wasting time.

​
Overview
​
This 1-day training course provides the necessary knowledge to those interested to improve productivity and effectiveness within a workplace.
This 5S Training is designed to provide knowledge on different aspects of 5S. The topics covered include the benefits of 5S, how to remove unnecessary items, equipment layout, storage methods, visual management, general cleaning, activity planning and resourcing. Delegates will also become familiar with concepts such as red-tagging, visual management, and auditing. .
-
In some quarters, 5S has become 6S, the sixth S being Safety.
​
A 5S system is a relatively simple yet powerful approach to organising a workplace, having a profound effect on the efficiency of processes and tasks and of the safety of staff carrying out these activities.
Other than a specific stand-alone methodology, 5S is frequently viewed as an element of a broader construct known as visual control, visual workplace, or visual factory. Under those (and similar) terminologies, Western companies were applying underlying concepts of 5S before publication, in English, of the formal 5S methodology.
-
Example: a workplace-organization photo from Tennant Company, a Minneapolis-based manufacturer, similar to the ones shown in 5S-related articles, appeared in a manufacturing-management book in 1986.
​
By focussing on removing ‘wastes’, such as unnecessary inventory (over-inventory), movement (transportation) and over-processing, implementing a 5S system is one of the easiest, and often primary, steps an organisation can take towards establishing a Lean culture.
​
Who Should Attend
​
This course is suitable for anyone involved in improving the efficiency of a workplace, whether in the capacity as Operator, work cell Team Member, Manager, Supervisor, or Improvement Specialist. It is suitable for various types of workplaces in manufacturing and production environments, laboratories, offices, etc.
​
Ideal for groups of colleagues, our 5S training workshop is available on an on-site delivery basis over a day at your premises by one of our Lean Lean experts.
​
Learning objectives
​
On completion of the 5S training workshop, delegates will have:
-
Gained an understanding of the workplace organisation basics and the types of Lean waste (muda) occurring when carrying out tasks.
-
