In any organisation there will be opportunity for improvement, this can be achieved in many ways but care needs to be exercised in identifying the approach that is appropriate for your business environment.
Following an initial review, Dorogan Consulting will work with you to identify the right approach based upon the dynamic of your business, needs, expectations and your vision for the future.
A typical first step on your business improvement or ‘Lean journey’ involves the practical elimination of process waste. This can be achieved through a 5S deployment.
5S is a proven philosophy within Lean that embraces the notion that the greatest effectiveness is achieved when orderliness, consistency and ergonomics in the work environment are properly defined and applied.
The effective implementation of 5S improves quality, work efficiency and productivity, resulting in unit cost reduction and increased profitability. The aim here is to achieve a “1st class workplace” which by definition means that employees are expected to manage the organisation and cleanliness of their work activity areas; therefore, they must be engaged in creating a clean, safe and disciplined workspace, a workplace that is conducive to visual management.
5S is a Japanese approach and method to organize the workplace using 5 simple phrases of “Seiri”, “Seiton”, “Seiso”, “Seiketsu” and “Shitsuke” on every work process (and “expanding”) to the entire value chain of the organisation / facility involving and engaging all employees.
