The 5S of Workplace Organisation
Make the 5S system of Workplace Organisation part of your organisations commitment to training and discover how this time-tested system can help to reduce your remove waste, improve your organisations safety, increase workforce efficiency and help you and your employees attain your organisational goals and objectives.
​
Learn how to employ the 5S system of workplace organisation as part of your organisations commitment to continuous incremental improvement and training as part of your desire to improve productivity, safety and quality and enable your work teams to organise your workplace in the safest and most efficient way. Ultimately, your purpose is to increase customer satisfaction whilst improving your own physical environment and efficiency.
​
The system takes its name from five Japanese words: Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke and our workshop and practical session is intended to work with these five sections as learning modules that will assist your own people to deploy the 5S of Workplace Organisation into your facility.
5S in the Office
5S is a system and way of organising and managing workspaces to improve efficiency by eliminating waste, improving flow and reducing the number of processes where possible. 5S systems are common in manufacturing, warehouses, offices and hospitals but 5S principles can be applied to any workplace.
Lean principles are as applicable in the service industry or your administrative processes as they are in your organisations manufacturing systems and in some cases even more important. Applying lean tools such as the 5S to your office processes can often make greater savings in your lead times and other issues than you could ever hope to make on your production.
A good example would be most companies order processing; how many times have you observed a ten weeks lead time being taken up with seven weeks in the office and three weeks of flustered and rushed production?
Sadly this is far from unusual, therefore applying the 5S suite of tools is the way forward.
Just as in your production areas, it is often best to have a 5S programme for our office areas, the principles and ideas are just the same and have the same goals; an organised, safe, clean, efficient and repeatable workflow.
Work with us to help prevent the wastes of Muda, Mura and Muri and eliminate the seven wastes within your office processes.
Office Visual Management and Control
Visual management is a technique for using visual cues (signs, posters, display boards etc.) to communicate information about an organisations processes and performance.
Visual management as a technique is often used to highlight things that are not standard, for example, abnormal results, poor performance or operational defects and by doing creating a signal and a move towards to compliance.
Visual management is common in factories, but to suggest that it can only be applied in factories is an inaccuracy – visual management is everywhere and can be witnessed throughout our daily activities (whether noticed or not!).
Visual management as a business technique can be readily applied in factories, offices and service centre environments.
Factory Visual Management and Control
GHC’s Visual Factory Management course is designed for organisations implementing Lean Manufacturing techniques in their working environment for the first time, as well as for organisations that have some Lean elements in established but are looking for the next step to drive continuous incremental factory improvement. Our training workshop covers the systematic approach and framework for the installation of a visual factory process to create a high performance workplace.
