5S for the office
workshop
Building a Visual and Productive Office.
Description
In most manufacturing organizations, office and administrative activities constitute about 60 percent of the production costs. However, these areas often get excluded during Lean initiatives.
To become a Lean Office, office activities must fully support shop-floor manufacturing operations to eliminate waste. The office, my any name, is a paperwork factory. The adoption of 5S throughout all office functions is the first step to increase efficiency.
This one-day workshop provides a blueprint for building a Lean foundation for your office. You will learn how to mobilize and align your management team and employees to launch or improve 5S in your office.
The program includes 5S and visual management key concepts, best practices, step-by-step implementation guidance, and the best ways to integrate 5S into the organization's culture to achieve sustainable world-class excellence.
Upon completion of the workshop, managers and employees can immediately apply the concepts of 5S to their office and administrative activities, resulting in the elimination of waste, reduced production costs, and increased profits.
