Overview – 5S Course

In the processes we have designed to produce a product or service, all activities without added value are called “waste”.  Lean management is a concept that has emerged with the goal of removing or minimizing waste. The concept of “Lean manufacturing”, which started with Japan after the 2. world war, is applied in all sectors, especially automotive.

The base element of lean manufacturing is standard work. It is not possible to accurately measure process standard times and therefore performance without standardization. The process that cannot be measured correctly cannot be managed and improved. The process that cannot be measured correctly cannot be managed and improved. Especially in areas where many different people work together, the standardization process starts with 5S and visual management.

5S is the way to perfection in terms of performance, comfort, safety and cleanliness in the shopfloor and offices.

The goal of 5S course is to provide participants with the ability to lead the creation and continuity of the visual factory, one of the basic principles of lean manufacturing techniques.
