Description
5S is focused on workplace organization. By establishing order in the workplace, 5S helps achieve improvement and efficiency by making things tidier, cleaner, brighter, and safer. This helps develop a more pleasant work environment, thereby improving morale and, as a consequence, productivity and quality.
This course introduces 5S and describes its benefits and when it is typically applied in municipal organizations. It outlines and explains the stages of 5S, as well as the steps involved in initiating a 5S event.
Some course materials may reference Leading Edge Group or display legacy branding, reflecting the history of the program. All North American delivery and learner support are provided by the same team that developed the program and are now operating as Leading Edge Associates.
