5S Basics
5S Basics is a self-paced training program on CD. The program gives an overview of this essential process for
creating and maintaining a clean and organized workplace. Developed by leaders with years of practical
experience in operations management, the presentation uses real-life photographs to illustrate the key learning
points. Interactive features and quizzes engage the learner and check for understanding.
The training program can be used to help insure the success of 5S:
• Basic training prior to a 5S event in an area
• Training for people who work in the area but did not participate in the 5S event
• Individual training for people who missed a 5S training class
• New employee orientation and training
• Refresher training
After completing the 5S Basics training module the learner will:
• Know what 5S is and understand the benefits of 5S
• See how the first three Ss are used to create a clean, organized workplace
• See that the last two Ss are critical to maintaining a highly productive, “tour-worthy” area
• Understand their daily role in the success of 5S
