COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course focuses on teaching employees
about the importance of workplace/workstation organization how visual
aids and signals can help streamline any process and related communications.
The course will emphasize the 5S method of organization (sort, set

of efficient, self-regulating and worker managed visual controls
(Kan Ban cards, color coding, transportation route designators,
lights and visual cues, to name a few. The instructor will demonstrate
the importance of workplace organization by showing actual before
& after case studies of companies that have successfully applied
these techniques. Special emphasis will be placed on how 5S and
visual controls can help to improve workplace morale, communications,
environmental health and safety and productivity. After learning
about 5S and visual control principles, participants will be given
