About 5S Training


Who is 5S Training for?

5S can be used by everyone. We all have workspaces whether they be personal or professional. Anybody who stores groceries in a refrigerator or cooks food in a kitchen, enjoys a hobby in their garage, plans material locations, or runs a manufacturing process can benefit from 5S. In our course, El Paso students learn:

5S Training Course Overview:

5S training shows Lean Manufacturing's 5 steps to organize workplaces in ways that lower cost and prepare El Paso students for more advanced techniques. Many a self-proclaimed Lean Sensei does what we call "Lean Gone Wrong"™ where they want to tape locations for everything including where to put the stapler on your desk, and put shadow boards everywhere. While these examples are good for workplace beautification, they are not great for workplace efficiency which is the true purpose of 5S. Often, they've lost their way and unfortunately generate a forgotten family of waste called overburden. In these sort of environments, the Lean Leader is feared and employees dread coming to work.

When practiced correctly, 5S generates the intended, healthy, mutually cherishing relationship between employees and management. This is because rather than burdening employees with unnecessary extra work, 5S makes their work easier and therefore in the process of doing so saves the company measurable dollars. A common additional advantage is increased revenue especially where 5S occurs along plant tour routes traveled by existing and prospective customers.

Example of 5S Gone Right

Have you ever been in a US Mint or Federal Bureau of Printing and Engraving Building? We have. It may be the ultimate pinnacle of 5S. We've seen horrific, nightmarishly filthly factories; so stuffed with junk that they were actually dangerous. And, we've seen pristine places as well such as Pfauter Maag Cutting Tools in Rockford, IL (white floors). But for as much criticism as they get, the US Government has them all beat when it comes to manufacturing money. That's the reason for this class' picture which is from inside the US Mint. Those are rolls of copper and nickel immaculately identified and staged for production. So, the picture has 2 meanings: one is that 5S should be about money (profit); not just doing 5S for the sake of 5S or beautification. Anyway, if we train you in Dallas / Fort Worth, let's save time for a tour of paper currency being printed!

What are the 5S's?

S1 Sort. The first thing to do is sort out needed items from unneeded. We've seen factories where 70% of the material choking production lines and tripping operators are obsolete components that will never go into a finished assembly again. Move them out.

S2 Set. Then, set needed material, tools, etc. in-place with things used most often closest to their point of use.

S3 Shine. Further beautify the area. Make needed items presentable and easily identifiable; easy to reach. And, clean the area.

S4 Standardize. Change your management system to reflect the improved condition. Update your organization's policies, procedures, work instructions, etc. preferably using a system of controlled documents. Remember to include all aspects of the change: not only practices, but standards as well. Color coding standards would be a common example. Most often forgotten are cleaning frequencies. These should also be included to support S3. Rev up, release, and train their users.

S5 Sustain. Supervise, and audit to assure improved practices are being followed. Incorporate this into your formal audit schedule.

El Paso

Sun City

Excellent choice! El Paso is Spanish for "the pass". Population boomed with the introduction of railroads and the city developed into a manufacturing, transportation, and retail center of the Southwest. Oil discovery and copper smelting further engendered economic expansion. Meanwhile, El Paso developed culturally with several theaters, museums, festivals, rodeos, etc. If your 5S Training is in June, check out the Southwestern International PRCA Rodeo. Otherwise, popular after-class entertainment options include Scenic Drive Overlook, Franklin Mountains State Park, El Paso Zoo, plus several more parks and museums.

Facility

El Paso's tallest building makes a striking location for our Training Center. The Brutalist architecture is effective at night when the floors are lit up to create various images. The high-rise provides a well-known Kansas Street address in this thriving region. The city is home to 70 Fortune 500 companies, close to the military at Fort Bliss, a center for education and call centers. The business center is close to Interstate 10. El Paso's location makes it a magnet for businesses, with Mexico unlocking many opportunities for trade in Central and South America. El Paso's Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) encourages growth by domestic and foreign companies and the Mexican government's Maquiladora incentive program means manufacturing flourishes in nearby Ciudad Juarez.

This DFMEA class was very entertaining and informative. The instructor had a lot of knowledge mixed with a great sense of humor. Most trainings I fall asleep after long hours however, this was a different situation. I had fun and learned a large amount of content in a short amount of time. Thank you!
