5S Certification may be as informal as making your own reward when your workplace first passes its internal 5S Audit, but it is an essential element in having a complete and successful 5S environment.
5S was originally developed in Japan as part of Just-in-Time manufacturing methods. Now, 5S is being applied to a wide variety of industries. It has extended from manufacturing to healthcare, education, government, and more. The 5S Concept certification, available exclusively through the Management and Strategy Institute, will give you an understanding of 5S methodology and how it is applied in the workplace.
This course examines the progressive environmental impacts of 5S and how you can use it to become a more sustainable organization. It also clarifies the position and structure of 5S Teams; who should be involved, who benefits most and how to get the largest results from your 5S struggle.
