What’s in this Course

9 Video Modules 8 Quizzes 16 Downloads

They say, “Without 5S, you can forget the rest.” At Gemba Academy we agree!

In the 5S Workplace Productivity Course you and your entire organization will learn exactly what 5S is, where it originated from, and why it’s far more than a housekeeping initiative. And most importantly, you will learn, step by step, how to start or possibly enhance your own corporate wide 5S program.

Please plan approximately 30 minutes of learning time for each module, including watching the video, taking the quiz, and reviewing supporting documents.

Spanish subtitles now available with online modules for no extra cost!
