5S Comprehensive Education and Resource Center

My friend Tony Ferraro, at Creative Safety Supply, has put together a comprehensive 5S resource and education page. Tony has been a frequent contributor on A Lean Journey Blog on many 5S and Lean topics. Many know Creative Safety Supply has been a valued sponsor of this site. This 5S page was made possible with contributions from a number of Lean Bloggers and members of the Lean Six Sigma LinkedIn group.

This site covers a wide range of 5S topics:

• What Is 5S?
• 5S Methodology
• What Does 5S Stand For?
• Five S
• Seiri
• Origin of 5S
• What Is Lean?
• 5 S Lean
• Visual Management
• Visual Workplace

• 5S System
• 5S Program
• 5S Training
• 5S Manufacturing
• Common Misconceptions
• Each Step of 5S Defined
• Understanding the Sixth S – Safety

It is full of visuals and videos to make understanding and implementing 5S easier. The content is well thought out and presented in a simple way. You will find this page has everything you need to get started with 5S at your company. I have book marked this page and recommend you do the same.
