Learn the 5 'S's of Visual Management

Workplace organization is  about eliminating waste, predictability and standardization, and employing visual controls. An organized workplace reduces non-value-added activities such as looking for information, tools and materials; and allows employees to communicate visually and more effectively. As support for the Lean environment, the 5-S's provide for the necessary infrastructure and cultural changes in sustaining the Lean (also known as Toyota Production System or TPS) program and initiatives.

Target Audience

Managers, operational and support staff from both the manufacturing and service sectors; including banking and finance, logistics, healthcare and government and public service.
