Who should seat for 5S ?
5S is a methodology that results in a clean, uncluttered, safe, and well-organized workplace to help reduce waste and optimize productivity. It's designed to help build a quality work environment, both physically and mentally. The 5S philosophy applies in any work area suited for visual control and lean production. The 5S condition of a work area is critical to employees and is the basis of customers' first impressions.

The 5S's.
The 5S quality tool is derived from five Japanese terms beginning with the letter "S" used to create a workplace suited for visual control and lean production. The pillars of 5S are simple to learn and essential to implement:
​
-
Siri: To separate needed tools, parts, and instructions from unneeded materials and remove the unneeded ones.
-
Seiton: To neatly arrange and identify parts and tools for ease of use.
-
Seiso: To conduct a cleanup campaign.
-
Seiketsu: To conduct seiri, seiton, and seiso daily to maintain a workplace in perfect condition.
-
Shitsuke: To form the habit of always following the first four S’s.
What will I be able to do after this course?
This course can be taken without specific entry requirements or prior knowledge of Lean Six Sigma. You do not have to take the Green Belt course to be able to start the Black Belt course. Affinity with change management is a plus.
Course design
The course is a half-day long with various educational working methods like simulations, exercises, and discussions. The procedure involves a portion of self-study in preparation for the exam. After the theoretical classroom days, the delegates can conduct a practical part which consists of three (practical) assignments (see below: Practical Assignment) under the guidance of your instructor (5S Expert).
​
Upon completion, the project is assessed by your instructor. Completing the Practical Assignment will enable the delegate to demonstrate practical experience in applying 5Ss objectively.
