5S is one of the easiest Lean Tools to learn and implement. Results are instantaneous! It is also one of the first you should implement in your operations, whether it be shop floor or front office. We have a 5S for Production workshop as well as a 5S for Office workshop.

The 5S’s are:
Sort
Set-In-Order
Shine
Standardize
Sustain

Learn about Sort through descriptions and before-after photos of Sort from other companies
Do “Red Tagging” to get started with the Sort step
