S5 Training – Workplace Organisation
"Taken from Financial Times Guide to Lean"
5S Workplace Organisation
Background
5S is commonly associated as being a housekeeping practice, a deep spring clean. At the surface level, it is true that untidy and cluttered workplaces are less productive and safe. A deeper aim is to develop the team member’s awareness and responsibility of normal and abnormal conditions in their direct work area. It enables frontline staff to see to problems and waste as soon as they surface and facilitates root cause problem solving. 5S is visual communication of the workplace status leading to enhanced employee engagement – “a mess is stress”.
5S also becomes an ongoing practice to help employees think about how their work area is laid out and arranged, and for them to act on all the small things that can make the workshop better, safer, more ergonomic, and easier to work in.
