Organize | Clean | Declutter

COVID-19 has changed our way of thinking when it comes to cleaning and sanitizing.  At no time in our history have the risks related to providing a safe and healthy working environment been so great.  Where will the money come from to keep such a clean and sanitary environment on a daily basis?  Could company’s, schools, public offices, etc. be held accountable for conditions favorable to the spread of the virus? 

Whose responsibility is it to achieve and maintain organization and cleanliness/sanitary conditions in the organization?  It’s all of ours – it’s every individual fulfilling their daily role and meeting their responsibilities.  It’s leaderships role to have a proven system in place that doesn’t break the bank. 

Join in and learn the power and usefulness of this time tested and proven system of 5S to improve organization, cleanliness/sanitary conditions and safety at home, work or school.  5S is more than a methodology, it is a philosophy that aims for spontaneous and continuous improvement.  It is the foundation for excellence.  It sends a clear message throughout that orderliness, cleanliness/sanitary conditions and safety is priority one!  5S is based on the following five principles:

Sort – if it doesn’t belong, get rid of it… this greatly reduces the time it takes to clean and sanitize…

Straighten – everything has a place, and everything is in its place…

Shine – clean & inspect! – its’ time to raise our game when it comes to cleanliness and sanitary conditions!

Standardize – do the above three on a consistent basis…

Sustain – maintain & improve over time…

An online activity-based course

That’s right, participants are live online with the instructor, and then go off to work on their 5S project.  Whether you’re working from home or still at work this course can be completed by you.  You select the project.  At home it could be a junk drawer, the kitchen, a playroom, a closet, or even your garage.  At work it could be your desk, your office, a breakroom, meeting room, classroom or work cell.
