🚨 WHY 5S IS IMPORTANT ⁉️ While 5S was first developed in the context of the automotive industry, it is now widely considered an essential step for any lean manufacturing program, regardless of industry. Embedding 5S as part of daily tasks within your company means much more than improved organization, sustained cleaning routines, and efficient activity flows. By using the 5S methodology, operators are encouraged to improve their overall work environment and reduce muda or waste. Adherence to 5S standards is considered the foundation of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and an integral part of the Toyota Production System (TPS). 5S also creates a stable platform from which Kaizen activities can be launched. The bottom line - 5S is a low-investment, high-impact lean manufacturing tool that is predicated on people. It engages operators in “owning” their workspace and helps to instill a culture of quality, productivity, and improvement.

WHY IS 5S IMPORTANT IN MANUFACTURING? While 5S was first developed in the context of the automotive industry, it is now widely considered an essential step for any lean manufacturing program, regardless of industry. Embedding 5S as part of daily tasks within your company means much more than improved organization, sustained cleaning routines, and efficient activity flows. By using the 5S methodology, operators are encouraged to improve their overall work environment and reduce muda or waste. Adherence to 5S standards is considered the foundation of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and an integral part of the Toyota Production System (TPS). 5S also creates a stable platform from which Kaizen activities can be launched. The bottom line - 5S is a low-investment, high-impact lean manufacturing tool that is predicated on people. It engages operators in “owning” their workspace and helps to instill a culture of quality, productivity, and improvement.

The 5S system is a key component of Lean Six Sigma. Developed at Toyota, the 5S approach creates safer, more efficient workstations that allow employees to improve and sustain higher productivity. The term 5S refers to the five steps of the system.

Completed the course “Lean Six Sigma Foundations”! by Mr. Steven Brown. Quite informative and interesting examples were put forward including the well known and successful Toyota Lean Manufacturing Approach or what the Japanese call 'poka-yoke' which still lives up to its mark. I got to learn a brief overview of DMAIC and how to reduce non value waste activities. Highly recommend the course to those wanting to learn more about process management and improvement techniques. https://lnkd.in/ggBpgz-A 

🔍 Lean Terminology: What is Andon? In Lean management, Andon isn't just a visual tool; it stands as a fundamental pillar of continuous improvement and quality across diverse industries. 🛑 What is Andon? An Andon is a visual management tool that highlights the status of operations in an area at a single glance and signals whenever an abnormality occurs. This could be a simple light signal, a display board, or even an automatic halt in the production line. It can indicate production status and abnormalities. It can also display the status of production. 📈 Why is it important? It leads to better quality, reduces downtime, and increases operational efficiency. From understanding basic concepts like Andon to implementing advanced Lean strategies, we're here to support you at every step of your journey towards operational excellence. Don't hesitate to check ILO's international certification programs in operational excellence and Lean management. #LeanManagement #ContinuousImprovement #LeanTraining

TQM (Total Quality Management) is an approach used in almost every organization in the world to establish and make permanent a climate in which all employees continuously improve their capabilities, standardize and make improvements to provide in-demand products and services that customers will find valuable. Based on several sources, TQM received widespread attention in the late 1980s and early 1990s before being replaced by Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma, all of which build on the TQM philosophy.
