Manufacturing Engineering, Inc. provides comprehensive 5S training and implementation. 5S is a methodology for organizing, cleaning, developing, and sustaining a productive work environment. Do these points describe your company work areas?

• Space is crowded with parts and tools
• Unneeded items are stacked between workers
• Excess inventory on the floor
• Excess items and machines make it difficult to improve process flow
• Equipment is dirty and a collection point for miscellaneous materials
• Needed equipment such as tools are difficult to find

These are signs that your facility may be in need of a 5S Program. At Manufacturing Engineering, Inc. we pride ourselves on implementing  sustainable programs that will return your plant to a renewed condition and keep it that way. The key to a successful implementation is developing self-directed employees. Based on this fact, we will take a team focused approach when developing and implementing a 5S program in your facility. Team based activity results in improved pride and ownership within the workplace. When people feel their thoughts and ideas are truly valued, they are more willing to apply themselves to activities that will improve their performance as well as that of the company. 

Our standard training and implementation project consists of:

• 8 on-site training sessions of  two-hours each

• 16 days on-site implementing 5S

• Team facilitation

• Analysis of the current state

• Determining where improvements are to be made

• Assistance in the implementation

• Sustaining the gains

We work with small implementation teams from each area within the facility to train and implement the 5S principles. Our training involves a combination of classroom training and on the floor implementation. Our classroom training materials include our company developed training manuals and materials and industry leading videos.
