What others are saying...

Everything has been going great so far! The videos are wonderful - clear and concise. I especially enjoy the 5S modules with the bookcase going through the process along the way. I love what I see so far. It's a valuable addition to my Lean toolbox. Thanks!

5S Workplace Productivity Course

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 housekeeping initiative. And most importantly, you will learn, step by step, how to start or possibly enhance your own corporate wide 5S program.

 

 
Six Months
1 Year
5S Course
 
This course is also available on DVD.

 

 

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

 

Module 1: 5S Overview

Sheds some insight into what 5S is as well as the steps to implementing 5S.

Module 2: Sort

The first step. Learn exactly what sorting is and how to go about it.

Module 3: Red Tagging

By the end of this module you will know exactly how to go about the "red tagging" process no matter if you are a machinist, accountant, or nurse.

Module 4: Straighten

This important step is far more than "lining things up in straight rows." By the end of this module you'll understand why.

Module 5: Sweep

By the end of this module you'll understand why the true mantra of 5S is actually "to sweep is to not clean!"

Module 6: Standardize

By the end of this module you'll know how to standardize your work area using tools like shadow boards.

Module 7: Sustain

By the end of this module you'll understand why a taut rope perfectly describes the sustain step of 5S.

Module 8: 5S Numbers Game

Learn how powerful 5S is by playing a fun game designed to open the eyes of the lean skeptics.

Module 9: Skill Matrix

Learn why a skill matrix is an essential tool for any organization serious about visual management and succession planning.
