5S in the Office

5S, also known as 5C or CANDO is concerned with the elimination of the '7 wastes' by the introduction of world class workplace organisation and 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.

Delegates get the opportunity to role play an office environment during the workshop in both a PRE-5S and a POST-5S environment to demonstrate what can be achieved by this lean tool.

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
  
• Design and implement a 5S audit programme
  
• Provide the right conditions for 'sustainability'
  
• Generate a structured programme to eliminate waste
  
• Implement a review process
