| Shopfloor culture change and continuous improvement: The 5S's |
|
- Create a dynamic workplace
- Develop people involvement
- Improve the effectiveness of daily activities
The 5S's are a systematic and rigorous process of workplace organization, that builds a culture of continuous improvement and empowerment throughout the company. Foundation of a Lean Manufacturing program, the 5S's help to create on the shopfloor:
- the sense of discipline in daily operations
- the implementation of standard visual operating procedures (the starting block of any
productivity improvement program)
- the continuous search for improvement ideas.
Although conceptually simple, the 5S's implementation is a complex endeavour since the real challenge is to:
- Start a team dynamic with everyone's involvement
- Introduce areas of autonomous team decision-making and continually expand them as the
team member’s knowledge and skills mature
- Build a vision of workplace transformation, team development and visual standardization
shared by management and all employees.
On the basis of our experience assisting companies worldwide, Productivity has developed a very effective process for 5S's implementation for both shopfloor and offices. This process will gradually foster company wide evolution towards new management styles compatible with team responsibilities and accountabilities
