No more theories about how 5S is supposed to work! This 5S training teaches participants how to make their workplace one true functionally organized, highly productive, and safe area. Above all, this training will help company management lay a solid foundation for all improvement initiatives and establish the beginning of a culture that genuinely supports continuous improvement.

A fully-fledged 5S is the basis for any improvement approach – especially Lean, of which 5S is one of the essential tools.

Although 5S is supposed to be the basis for enabling companies and their employees to improve effectively, very often, 5S is fundamentally misunderstood, misapplied, dysfunctional, and often a source of waste and bureaucracy.

On such a basis, companies then vainly try to build their improvement activities, hoping for the long-term sustainability of hard-won improvements.

This training aims to show all participants practically – in their own environment – how to implement, maintain, and audit 5S properly and how to build a culture of continuous improvement based on the correctly implemented 5S.

Therefore, we explain and train 5S in a 5S Kaizen workshop. We immediately go with the team to implement the theoretical blocks practically in your company, at the workplace of your choice. In the training, we go through the origin of 5S, its basics and its benefits, preparation for 5S implementation, the individual steps of implementation, how to properly maintain and audit 5S, and how to build on it. At the same time, we will rehabilitate with the participants the existing mistakes in the understanding of 5S and explain what 5S is, what it is not, and how to approach it correctly.
Our main goal is to create a fully functional 5S workplace with you, which will become a benchmark for the correct implementation and development of 5S in your company.

After this hands-on training, participants will gain a reference workplace, deep knowledge of 5S and will then be able to lead and participate in the implementation of 5S in other workplaces themselves. Maintain it, audit it properly, and, most importantly, develop it further so that 5S finally brings you a real, noticeable benefit.

5S Expert (2-3 days)

A 5S training workshop at a specific workplace focusing on the theory of the individual phases of 5S and gaining practical experience through a limited application of 5S at a specific workplace of the client’s choice.
The purpose of this workshop is not to improve the workplace to the end but to teach your 5S team how to apply 5S properly in your own environment.
The outcome of this training workshop is a team capable of applying 5S anywhere in the company, a partially improved reference workplace (within the capabilities of the 2-day training), and an action plan to complete the 5S implementation to a fully functional state.
In addition to the open format, this course is also offered as a closed training. To register for the open training, please select from the dates listed.

Open training – 2 days.
Closed company training – 3 days.
