Sustainable 5S

How to Use the Lean Starting Tool to Improve Flow, Productivity and Employee Satisfaction

About the Book

Lean Transformations typically start with 5S, the workplace organisation tool with 5 stages that helps a team to reduce waste on the most basic level: the design of the workplace. Although the term 5S is widely used among companies, its full potential is often not understood. This leads to implementations in which 5S does not lead to the measurable results it is capable of bringing.

When you follow the tips described in this book, I promise you the following:

-       Your 5S implementation will improve productivity,

-       It will help improve the process flow of the entire process,

-       It will boost employee satisfaction,

-       It will be part of your culture and discussed and improved across teams every day,

and most importantly:

-       These successes will be sustained over time.
