5S: improving efficiency
Context and rationale
Improving organisation and operations for greater productivity is a crucial issue for manufacturers. To achieve this, companies turn to the Lean Manufacturing method. Several Lean Management tools then help improve the efficiency of their activity. One of these tools is the 5S method.
The 5S method makes it possible to constantly optimise working conditions and working time by ensuring the organisation, cleanliness and safety of a work area.
This course will enable you to improve the efficiency of the work environment with the 5S method.
