5S and Standard Work
5S and Standard Work
5S is a step-by-step approach for workplace organization that is applicable to any
work environment, from the factory to the office and the hospital to the college campus.
As a first step toward a total Lean transformation or as an effective and inexpensive
means of reducing waste, clutter, and stress in the workplace, 5S is a firm foundation
for process improvement.
Standard work is documentation that leads to an understanding of the work elements within a process. It defines the best practices, allowing for repeatable and predictable work, improving safety and efficiency.

Safety and productivity are paramount in any type of manufacturing or service environment.
5S is a great and straightforward way to get participants to view their workplaces
in a different light and reorganize them to be safer and more efficient. Standard
Work arms your management, supervisors and workforce with the mentality and methods
to continually improve. Standard Work is not a pack of standard operating procedures;
it is the control system that unifies and synchronizes work improvements for the low-cost,
best quality and safest possible condition.
