5S Visual Enterprise Event

Improving cleanliness, organization and safety in your workplace!

This 3 to 5 day hands-on 5S/Visual Enterprise event is a proven way to implement this world class tool in any organization. A designated team, facilitated by an experienced lean expert, properly implements 5S/Visual Enterprise by using a 15 step kaizen process. Proper 5S/Visual Enterprise implementation leads to increased pride in the work place while sustaining the improvements for cleanliness, organization and safety. While this event is focused on obtaining results, it also provides an excellent environment for participants to learn from an expert about 5S/Visual Enterprise as well as other world class tools. This allows the participants to gain valuable hands on experience and confidence for facilitating or participating in future improvement events.

• Event preparation, defining the scope and goals of the event
