5s-Optimization in Offices & QC Laboratories - Online Training Recording

The aim of this Live Online Training is to learn the basics of the 5s method and its five standardized steps. With the help of many practical examples from pharmaceutical laboratories and offices and numerous images, we will introduce you to this Lean method. We will also provide you with the tools to successfully introduce 5s in your company.

Even with little effort and cost, deviations can be discovered, and errors can be prevented more easily. 5s can be applied not only to laboratory or office/administrative areas, but also to all areas of pharmaceutical production (e.g. warehouse, manufacturing, packaging, workshops, service areas).

5s is an indispensable basic building block of lean management. In a joint study by the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Engineering and Automation (IPA) and the Kaizen Institute Germany, a significant improvement potential of up to 30% was found in the administrative areas of companies, which can even be exceeded in laboratory areas.

After the introduction of 5s, audits and a process for continuous improvement (CIP) will serve you to maintain and further improve the achieved conditions in terms of order and cleanliness, with the aim of:
