Practical 5S
Programme Overview
5S is a simple but powerful technique, generally considered to be a foundation element for Lean and continuous improvement. Despite this it is often poorly or inappropriately implemented in practice. Many organisations are successful at initial implementation, but most struggle to maintain, sustain or even improve on the original work.
