5S in the Office
One of VECCI’s Business Excellence courses
Why we developed this program
5S stands for Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise, and Sustain.
5S in the Office is a 5 step process aimed at reducing waste and optimising productivity through maintaining an orderly workplace and using visual cues to achieve more consistent operational results.
Organise the workplace so that you save time every day by being able to find everything you need, when you need it, every time. Implement a program that allows staff to know where things are without having to search or ask someone for direction.
Stephen Grech is the Lean Director and founder of Doing Business Better; a productivity improvement specialist company established to assist small and medium sized businesses, not-for-profit organisations and government agencies to save time, reduce costs and increase productivity by eliminating non value adding activity.
Stephen has introduced the Lean Thinking business improvement philosophy to Victoria's largest government departments and has implemented a number of Lean, Six Sigma, 5S in the Office and Lean organisational improvement projects in the public and private sectors. Stephen is widely known for his remarkable success in developing a NEW culture of continuous improvement.
