Online-Training: 5S Action

The 5S method is one of the fundamentals of Lean Management. By enabling autonomous action of employees, who in turn achieve optimisation and standardisation in their work areas, the company can achieve benefits in terms of a better efficiency. The standardisation of work areas is one of the basic conditions for stable processes and the resulting sustainability. Potential for improvement and suitable measures are identified and applied in practice.

Another important aspect of the 5S method is the leadership behaviour of superiors. Without the combination of leading on site and the appreciation of workers, there will be no responsible acting and thinking. Understanding the 5S method across hierarchies eases the implementation of change. Everyone will understand that the method becomes a daily routine and the never ending process of continuous improvement will be installed.

Understanding 5 S is the chance to create an independent Lean Philosophy.
