5S and Visual Management Training
Why 5S isn’t just about tidiness
When your electrician shows up with a messy service van, what would be your impression? The same goes for your production. A clean, organized environment isn’t just about tidiness—it signals professionalism, quality, and control. In this hands-on course, you’ll discover how 5S creates safer, more efficient, and more stable processes. We’ll show you how to turn 5S from a cleaning exercise into a foundation for operational excellence.

Turn the shop floor into a communication tool: What visual management really means
You shouldn’t need to do a lot of investigation to know how your shop floor is doing. In a truly visual workplace, the shopfloor speaks for itself. You’ll learn how to design systems that make problems, flow, and standards visible at a glance, without relying only on evaluations and reports. From shadow boards to color codes to flow indicators, we’ll walk through the simple but powerful tools that let everyone see what’s working, and what’s not.
Make your system tell you what you need to know.
From Sort to Sustain: Implement 5S with intention, not just labels and lines
Many 5S efforts fail because they fizzle out after “Shine” and skip the hard parts: habits, leadership, and daily discipline. In this training, we’ll break down the full 5S method: Sort, Set, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. And show you how to apply each step in a way that fits your team. You’ll also learn how to run 5S walks, plan an implementation roadmap, and lead by example to keep the momentum going.
Standardize and Sustain: Don’t neglect these steps.
They make or break long-term success.
A workplace that runs itself: Visualize not just space, but flow and performance
5S starts with the physical workspace, but the real power comes when you visualize your processes. We’ll explore how to use visual management to track performance, identify issues, and align teams, without hunting for data. Imagine walking the floor and instantly seeing how your shop floor day is progressing. That’s the goal. We’ll give you the tools to get there.
Don’t ask your shop floor, make it tell you what’s going on!
