- Create a dynamic workplace
- Develop people involvement
- Improve the effectiveness of daily activities


The 5S's are a systematic and rigorous process of workplace organization, that builds a culture of continuous improvement and empowerment throughout the company. Foundation of a Lean Manufacturing program, the 5S's help to create on the shopfloor:

- l the sense of discipline in daily operations
- the implementation of standard visual operating
   procedures (the starting block of any productivity
   improvement program)
- the continuous search for improvement ideas.

Although conceptually simple, the 5S's implementation is a complex endeavour since the real challenge is to:

- Start a team dynamic with everyone's involvement
- Introduce areas of autonomous team decision-making
   and continually expand them as the team member’s
   knowledge and skills mature
- Build a vision of workplace transformation, team
   development and visual standardization shared by
    management and all employees.

On the basis of our experience assisting  companies worldwide, PRODUCTIVITY has developed a very effective process for 5S's implementation for both shopfloor and offices. This process will gradually foster   company wide evolution towards new management styles compatible with team   responsibilities and accountabilities.
