Held in a workshop format, this 4-day hands-on course is designed to teach participants how to effectively implement the 5S methodology within their work areas. The course combines classroom theory and examples with practical experience applying the 5S methodology to their real-life work areas in the offices, labs, manufacturing areas, warehouses and showrooms.
The course begins with a day of theory in the classroom, followed by two days of practical experience applying the theory. This is then followed-up by another day in the classroom to cement the learning, and to discuss how to best deploy the 5S approach across the entire organization.
The 4 days of this workshop can be broken up into two sections. Participants can take the first day of classroom instruction and then spend a few days implementing in their work areas, during which time they receive coaching from our senior consultants. They then return for the final day of training and complete the entire course content.
The focus of this workshop is to enable participants to implement 5S projects and achieve measurable improvements in their work areas. It also ensures that ownership of the 5S process is instilled in each employee – leading to strong commitment for its enduring success. SatiStar’s experts can support this training with on-site consultants to ensure that the use of the tools is applied effectively.
Participants will learn through lecture, class discussions, class exercises, case studies and examples and on-site practical application of the 5S methodologies in a real-life project.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
SatiStar's Experience Makes The Difference!
. . . worked extremely well with the departmental and site managers . . . goal oriented and met the objectives set within the quoted budget and ensured the results were attained for the Company.
The guys from SatiStar did more in one week than we were able to do in 6 months.
Achieving ISO registration was far less onerous than we thought, our employees really rallied to the cause. The registration effort really brought us closer together as a team, and SatiStar really came through for us when we needed them.
We started this process a year ago with Mickey helping us create a spaghetti map of our processes on the whiteboard, and then his team guided us through their streamlining methodology and got us to where we are today. Our processes now look nothing like the spaghetti map – and we’re much more efficient today
This projected cycle time reduction of over 80% annual cost savings amounting to over 3% of sales, one-time savings of roughly $10 million, and working capital reduction of roughly $30 million really have us excited!
An outstanding success with Motorola’s vendor audit! What made this an exceptional achievement is that it typically takes 4 to 5 attempts to pass this audit. SatiStar’s expertise made it easy to avoid all the extra attempts.
