In this workshop, we teach and explain how 5S and 6S can help your organization while supporting lean principles and rules.

  • Analyze the purpose and application of 5S / 6S
  • Describe the implementation process
  • Execute 5S or 6S within an area of your organization
  • Establish a daily practice to sustain your program

Key Benefits:

  • Identify and remove non-essential material and waste
  • Ensure workplace order
  • Enable quick problem detection
  • Improve operational efficiency
  • Free up space
  • Improve working conditions
  • Improve employee morale and motivation

The 5S/6S workshop is held onsite at your location and normally requires 1-3 days. We start with a half-day introduction and instruction (handouts provided). After the half-day of instruction, we get right to work implementing 5S/6S in your target area.  We recommend at least one follow-up consultation day after 30 days to coach and audit progress.  Large groups may require an additional coach/facilitator at an additional cost.
