Cut Costs and Optimize Performance with a Workplace Organization System


Stalled budgets and higher customer expectations are driving the need to more strategically manage operating costs and performance. As a result, an increasing number of organizations are exploring continuous improvement programs.

Preliminary attempts at Lean typically begin with 5S and it’s no wonder - successful 5S implementations provide immediate results and are excellent barometers of organizational health, creating opportunities to improve performance across business functions.

"Only 30 minutes of searching a day equals 19 lost working days a year"


Despite the valuable performance boost and operational insight that result from this kind of process audit, the cost of implementation, reticent company culture, lack of internal lean leadership and lack of commitment to continuous improvement may hinder the launch of a full-scale effort or yield little more than a short-lived cleanup.

Jumpstarting Continuous Improvement
To achieve meaningful results, Lean practitioners must adopt a programmatic approach that balances addressing immediate needs with longterm sustainability.

We have developed a program designed to help businesses effectively execute 5S and, more importantly, sustain the improvements they've put in place and cultivate a culture that will support the change long-term.

Whether you're looking to make your first foray into Lean, want to up-level your efforts, or reestablish a continuous improvement culture, this 3-day clinic enables businesses to jumpstart performance by systematically evaluating, improving, and stabilizing management processes, workplace morale, and profit margin via:
• Deep insight into performance issues to ensure consistency in delivery
• The establishment of internal benchmarks to more effectively measure progress
• Guidance on how to socialize Continuous Improvement with leadership and other stakeholders

"50% of 5S initiatives fail because they lack a sustainable system"

• The tools and implementation guidelines to be able to apply learnings company-wide
