Course Overview5S, also known as 5C or CANDO is concerned with the elimination of the '7 wastes' by the introduction of world class workplace organisation, visual management and immaculate housekeeping. 5S is also sometimes known as 6S where the sixth S stands for Safety.
What are the 7 Wastes?By reviewing just 7 wastes in our business, we can account for over 80% of the waste we are likely to find in both an office and factory environment. 5S is a set of tools originally employed by Japanese manufacturing industry to form the bedrock of a continuous improvement culture - a good place to start for an organisation in the process of adopting a lean culture.
This one day 5S and 7 Wastes training course is ideally suited to personnel from all disciplines in a manufacturing environment.
This is a highly interactive, practical course where delegates get the opportunity to manufacture 'real' products during the workshop in both a PRE-5S and a POST-5S environment to demonstrate what can be achieved by this lean tool.
