DESCRIPTION:Event Description:\n\nThe 5S System: The Visual Workplace \n\n
Purdue University Fort Wayne leverages the resources of Purdue University by teaming up with their MEP program to offer this training.
The Mission:
To advance economic prosperity, health, and quality of life in Indiana and beyond. Purdue Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) provides high value, affordable solutions to help businesses increase profitability. As advocates for Indiana's thousands of manufacturers, our staff leverages resources in both the public and private sectors to help identify areas of improvement, streamline processes, and ultimately increase competitiveness.
The 5S System: The Visual Workplace
This workshop offers participants an opportunity to experience first-hand how a 5S System reduces waste in a simulated production facility. Participants learn the concepts of the 5S System - Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain - and then apply them to transform a cluttered, disorganized, inefficient production area into an orderly and productive workplace.
The outcome is more than just a clean work area. The workshop shows participants how a 5S System can increase the value-added output per worker, with improvements in productivity, safety, and quality with savings going right to the bottom line.
Objectives:
- Describe differences in workplace appearance and functionality before and after the 5S process has been applied.
- Perform an in-depth audit of workplace organization and standardization through use of a Workplace Scan.
- Organize a workplace by applying the concepts of Sort, Set in Order, and Shine.
- Standardize procedures to maintain and control an organized workplace using visual controls.
- Explain methods to apply the fifth concept, Sustain.
- Describe how 5S can help to improve workplace environmental health and safety.
