What is 5S and how will it help my workplace?

5S is the key foundation pillar for any organisational change. It provides a cleaner, more organised and more efficient workplace. It begins the process towards a visually managed work area and leaves the team involved with a huge sense of achievement and enthusiasm.
Vative 5S implementation provides professional services for the introduction of 5S into a work area. 5S can be applied to any work area, including offices, to instil a culture which encourages improvements. Vative will work through the following 5S steps and provide direction to achieve a sustained system.

1. S1 Sort (Seiri) - focuses on eliminating unnecessary work items
2. S2 Set In Order (Seiton)- focuses on efficient and effective storage systems
3. S3 Shine (Seiso) - this step establishes cleaning requirements and formulates a cleaning system which will help identify issues
4. S4 Standardise (Seiketsu) - determines best practice work habits and educates others in the most efficient methods
5. S5 Sustain (Shitsuke) - develops a strategy to sustain your activities and implements routine actions that will maintain an optimum environment
