5S Nameplate

A complete nameplate has a phone number in case Cindy is away and a photo so unfamiliar visitors recognize her. It shows responsibilities so they know if they have the right person. An alternate contact tells who to call if Cindy is unavailable.

5S & Visual Control For The Office

kaizen kanjiIn this program, office employees learn the principles of Five-S and put them into practice in their own office and workspace. This program combines classroom training with a mini Kaizen Event to make the transition from classroom to practice. 

The program is oriented to the office environment with examples, photos and techniques. It is a great start for a 5S implementation and complements our management level seminar on this topic.
