Name: Lean Tool Training: 6S System - NEPIRC Effort
Date: April 11, 2025
Time: 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT
Event Description:
The 6S System is a series of activities designed to achieve an overall improvement in efficiency, product quality, satisfaction of employees and mitigation of safety risks. 6-S is often thought of as the foundation for continuous improvement. While traditionally considered only applicable in a manufacturing environment, it is highly relevant for non-manufacturing operations as well. It is important to not only understand 6-S but to also know how to put it into place in your organization. Participants will learn how to apply the six activities that are at the core of the 6S System: • Sorting – Evaluating the need for items currently located in the targeted area and removing unnecessary items • Setting in Order – Arranging the necessary items in the most logical and most efficient configuration • Shine – Cleaning the selected area and learning to use cleaning as a means of inspection • Standardization – Creating uniformity in the way work within the targeted area is performed • Sustainment – Creating accountability for the preservation and continuance of the 6S System • Safety – NEPIRC added the final activity of Safety to this program and takes the approach that safety should be built-in to each work area and that it is every worker’s responsibility to identify, correct and report any and all unsafe work conditions they encounter Topics covered include: • How to perform a Workplace Scan • How to create and use a Red Tag System • How to effectively use Visual Management to control behavior. • How to “right size” Work In Process (WIP). • How to effectively use triggers to replenish material
