5S Certification

5S is a workplace organizational method that uses a list of words to describe how to organize a work space. Those words are Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize and Sustain. 5S was originally developed in Japan as part of Just-in-Time manufacturing techniques. Now, 5S is being applied to a wide variety of industries. It has expanded from manufacturing to healthcare, education, government, and more. The 5S Concept certification, available exclusively through the Management and Strategy Institute, will give you an understanding of 5S methodology and how it is applied in the workplace.
