 Translating the 5S Strategy

Recognising the 5S VISION for Daewoo,

what would you do to ensure its
effectiveness?
 Systematic Training Initiatives
• At least 50 per cent reduction in time and
costs of satisfying the relevant learning
needs
• At least 10 per cent improvement in
quality and quantity of the work produced
• Elimination of mistakes, scrap and rework
• No misuse of machines, materials and
equipment
• Managers and supervisors do not need to
be involved personally in conducting the
training and correcting mistakes, thus
releasing their time for their more pressing
tasks and more senior work
• Improved safety at work and reduction in
accidents (properly trained employees use
safe methods and procedures)
• Morale is generally higher, there is better
co-operation between departments and
increased motivation. All these are
characteristics noticeable in organisations
that are efficient and staffed by well-
trained people.
