How can such a simple concept such as "workplace organization" improve safety, eliminate wasteful motion, reduce errors, open up space, and make the factory more visual? The practice of "5S" (Sort-Straighten-Sweep-Standardize-Self-Discipline) is so powerful because it is so simple. The 5S activity is a key part of any Lean effort because it identifies waste and abnormality while making the job easier. Either as part of a kick-off to your Lean transformation, or as an integral part of your day-to-day improvement culture, the 5S Lean Manufacturing Workplace Organization poster will remind and reinforce good habits for a neatness and efficiency. |
