5S is the most fundamental improvement activity for any business. As Henry Ford wrote in 1926 'Good work requires good tools in a good organised environment'. 5S has also been recognised as a key strategy by many of the winners of Britain's Best Factories Awards.

5S is not just about cleanliness however; it is about the functional organisation of the workplace, so that work can be done in an efficient, safe and non-frustrating environment. Productivity Europe can help you implement 5S  in your factory and make immediate gains in productivity, safety and morale.

5S is best learnt through implementation in your own factory, and we can help through providing implementation training and support. 5S is also covered in our Foundations of TPM public workshop
