Two Minute Tip

 

34:37min I always call that 5S training. And so that's crucial that employees at all levels of an organisation must receive adequate training in 5S for the system to be effective, including upper management, supervisory, maintenance staff, employees on the floor. In 5S, everyone is responsible for doing their part to maintain the system and be secure in the workplace where people understand the thinking behind 5S, not just the steps and tasks they must perform. So, 5S training should explain the pillars of 5S in the application in the workplace and how does the 5S fit in the company goals. And again, it's very important for each role, and each person will play a role in maintaining an effective 5S work. Really simple work. Everyone gets involved, from the director to the shop floor people.
