The 5S System

The 5S System creates a workplace environment that is conducive to the successful implementation of lean manufacturing processes. For that reason, 5S is typically the first step that a company takes in its lean journey. Effectively implementing the 5S System demands nothing less than triggering basic changes in employee behavior and further, transforming these new behaviors into habitual behaviors. The Center for Business, Industry & Labor provides a wide variety of highly effective training, communication, measurement and performance reinforcement tools that transform the way employees see their workspace and the way they operate within it, optimizing the impact of the 5S System.

5S for Safety: New Eyes for the Shop Floor

Studies conducted by the National Safety Council have shown that there is a positive relationship between implementing the 5S System and reducing accidents on the shop floor. Many companies that have implemented the 5S System have not utilized its potential fully as a powerful tool to impact safety. To aid companies in maximizing their investment in 5S, the Center for Business, Industry & Labor provides a two-module training series, supported by one-on-one consulting.

Value Stream Mapping

Value-stream mapping is an essential first step in a lean transformation because it allows a company to see the overall flow in an entire process. Because both current state and desired future state maps are created, improvements can be planned comprehensively. Mapping creates a blueprint for applying other lean tools and kaizens. CBIL provides on site training and consulting.
