5S training and consultant services

WCM Consulting provides in-house 5S training based on Oskar Olofsson's book, "Succeeding with 5S". The training is designed for a wide range of participants, whether they are change agents within your organization or the entire workforce.

What sets our service apart is its inclusivity. Our program actively involves the entire workforce in the detailed planning of their workspace, while also offering focused consultant support to management and key personnel.

Through thoughtful training materials and follow-up tools, we ensure a solid foundation for your 5S journey.

How does it work?

Month 1

Training begins with a day of on-site instruction. The morning session is dedicated to theory and discussions, designed to foster an understanding and acceptance of the 5S concept's utility for everyone.

In the afternoon, we initiate the first practical stage of 5S – surveying our current situation. We identify everything that needs to be done for our work to be effective and the workplace easy to maintain. This session culminates in an action plan for the next 30 days. Each subsequent month, we introduce a new stage of 5S.

Month 2

"Set in Order" – We focus on creating efficient workstations with designated places for everything, emphasizing ergonomic design and smooth workflow.

Month 3

"Shiny Clean" – We carry out thorough cleaning of the facility, inside and out. The goal is to reach a mutually agreed standard and document the process to establish clear routines. Everyone in the workforce participates in this activity!

Month 4

"Standardized Cleanup" – At this stage, we develop effective 5S procedures and a system that ensures adherence, making any deviations obvious.

Month 5

"Sustain" – Key personnel from each production section, as well as management, are involved at this stage. We introduce the audit process and set the requirements for achieving the 5S diploma.

WCM Consulting leads this endeavor, providing both training and coaching for management and key personnel. You appoint a core team that spearheads the project during implementation and assumes operational control in the future.
