Basic Concept
It is no secret that the implementation of Lean is 20% technical and 80% social. Today, many companies have a firm understanding of the technical side, but fall short of their improvement goals because they cant make the necessary changes on the social side. As a result, gains are short term and aren't sustained, and the program loses momentum and eventually support. While most of today's managers understand the principles of 5S and can make the connection between implementation and a cleaner, better organized work place, few understand the tremendous potential the 5S implementation process has to truly empower the people, resulting in a culture of continuous improvement that will ensure sustainable results.
Although conceptually simple, implementation of the 5Ss often becomes a real challenge as you work to:
- start a dynamic team environment with the involvement of all employees involvement
- introduce areas of autonomous team decision making and continually expand them as you develop team member skills and knowledge
- build a vision of workplace transformation, team development and visual standardization that is shared by management and operators
In the workshop, taught using lecture, group discussion and simulation, learn how to use the 5S methodology to not only clean and organize your workplace, but to empower your people and instill a culture of continuous improvement in your organization.
