Learn how to use ‘lean’ methods to optimize your workplace in this free online course that covers the ‘5S’ of Kaizen. This training course teaches you how to apply ‘lean’ methodology to affect workplace optimization and housekeeping. The ‘5S’ is based on five Japanese words beginning with the letter ‘S’: ‘sort’, ‘set in order’, ‘shine’, ‘standardize’ and ‘sustain’. They can be applied to make workplace processes run more effectively and efficiently. We study the history of the ‘5 Ss’, their importance in the workplace, the guidelines for their use and more.
