Onsite Seminar

5S Fast & Simple

Large Scale Implementation in Two Days

5S LogoThis training and kaizen event implements 5S in a big way. Up to five teams from various work areas participate in classroom training followed by an intense Kaizen event that puts new ideas into practice. They primarily implement the SORT, SET & SHINE steps.

In parallel, a Steering Committee receives classroom training and facilitation assistance for its role in the STANDARDIZE & SUSTAIN steps.

A separate session orients support people such as engineers, maintenance employees and managers.
