5S in the Office Training Course

5S in the Office Training Course

This one day 5S in the Office training course is ideally suited to personnel from all disciplines in an office environment. It is often overlooked that there is a lot of ‘waste’ in the office as everyone looks busy all of the time, with many people multi-tasking. This course looks at how you can make your staff more effective and productive without anyone working any harder, just smarter.

5S is concerned with the elimination of the ‘7 wastes’ by the introduction of world class workplace organisation, visual management and immaculate housekeeping.

What are the 7 Wastes?

By reviewing just 7 wastes in our organisation, we can account for over 80% of the waste we are likely to find in an office environment. 5S can help to address this waste and either reduce it significantly or eliminate it all together.

What you will learn

At the conclusion of the 5S in the Office training course each delegate will be able to:

• Identify the 7 Wastes in their own working environment.
• Understand the benefits of working in a ‘clutter’ free environment.
• Recognise the usefulness of signage, colour and location as part of a visual management strategy.
• Design and implement a 5S audit programme.
• Provide the right conditions for ‘sustainability’.
• Generate a structured programme to eliminate waste.
• Implement a review process.
