The objectives of the 5S Training Workshop and Kaizen Blitz program is to provide participants with a demonstrated understanding of 5S and how it can generate value within their workplaces, as well as to implement the early stages of a 5S program in a pilot area of the business.
The subject matter, principles and terminology are aligned with the ‘Competitive Systems and Practices’ courses which are nationally accredited under the Australian Skills Quality Authority. Efficiency Works will tailor the workshop agenda and training content to customer requirements, and to the workshop participants.
During the 5S workshop participants learn the 5S concepts and then practically apply the tools in their workplace processes. In this way, the organisation benefits from the learning experience as well as the immediate 5S improvements that are achieved within the operation.
5S is a simple but effective methodology to improve our workplace by simplifying, better organising, and sustaining a productive work environment. The Kaizen Blitz commences with a high-level workshop to familiarise staff with 5S principles before moving to the workspace. The steps are:
The workshop is conducted in two activities over the day which comprises an interactive discussion on the elements and the application of 5S, as well as an introduction to some of the associated Continuous Improvement tools and techniques. The workshop also involves a facilitated 5S audit of a targeted work area to identify improvement opportunities that can be practically addressed in the subsequent Kaizen Blitz.
The Kaizen Blitz is an intensive and focused approach to process improvement achieved through the application of 5S principles and selected tools. Using the knowledge gained in the workshop, the Kaizen Blitz involves a facilitated and interactive problem-solving and targeted process improvement activity conducted by the team in the workplace. The pilot project is commenced immediately after the workshop and will continue for the remainder of the day.
The Kaizen Event methodology has been used extensively for improving the organisation of work across all functions. The results are real-time with implementation occurring within a few days, rather than weeks or months. The event will also develop a list of other improvement opportunities that staff can investigate and implement and will establish a platform for continuous improvement.
Kaizen Blitz offers several advantages over other traditional problem solving:
