A Kaizen culture is one that encourages continuous improvement through the cooperation of every employee. The Lean approach provides tools and techniques that enable that culture.
While Kaizen is about creating an environment for employees to contribute towards continuous improvement, 5S is an approach to increasing productivity through a process of Sort, Set, Shine, Standardise and Sustain. The 2 are complementary and enhance the application of Lean theory.
This 1-day course comprises a half day on each of Kaizen and 5S. You can choose to attend just for a half day to learn about either 5S or Kaizen, or for the whole day. Please contact us for more information.
