SHINE

STANDARDISE

SUSTAIN/SYSTEMISE

Ensure that 5S is a long-term, company-wide goal. Analyse results, hold team meetings and train workers on the importance of 5S.

Benefits of using our Shadow Boards in your lean 5S journey

SAFETY

The most efficient organisation of tools and equipment contributes to less workplace accidents and creates a higher level of employee morale and pride. Our Lean 5S Products UK Shadow Boards act as visual aids and encourage area cleanliness and workplace safety.

SPACE

Clearing away waste and organising the most used tools and equipment efficiently on a Lean 5S Products UK Shadow Board, frees up space that can be used more effectively for expansion and higher profits.

PRODUCTIVITY

Ensuring tools and equipment are close to hand on a Lean 5S Products UK Mobile Shadow Board, cuts wasted motion and travel time, which increases productivity, and your bottom line.

DEFECTIVE ITEMS

The visual nature of Lean 5S Products UK Shadow Boards clearly shows when an item is missing, or needs replacing or fixing which saves you money and helps prevent production slow down or stoppages.

INCREASED WORKPLACE MORALE

Making it routine to implement proper procedures and discipline to avoid backsliding, is one of the main objectives of the 5S system. This practice improves the chances of avoiding dark, dirty, disorganised workplaces, which can foster lower morale among employees. When workplaces are clean and organised using Lean 5S Products UK Shadow and Production Boards, your employees are happier!
