Now more than ever we find the need for organization and optimal function in our activity areas, especially in fast-paced environments.

Lean management tools help us to reduce waste and improve quality by applying time-tested lean applications across industries.

5S is a lean management tool that improves quality, efficiency, value, and safety through structured, repeatable steps.

In this course we teach you all of the steps to facilitate your own 5S event at home, work, business, or school using the steps of Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain.

Upon completion of the course you will be able to eliminate waste and see significant gains in productivity, efficiency, quality, and safety in any application. And you will have a checklist and example to follow.

Course participants are encouraged to share any pictures of before and after 5S projects with the instructor upon course completion so that they can be shared with students of the course.
