In the digital age, many underestimate the power of simple tools and techniques that support business growth. Some people tend to believe in the power of automation and software without consideration of human factor. However, most successful businesses invest heavily in personal development and work environment optimisation. The foundation for the latter one can be built using 5S program.
5S is the ultimate Smart Technology
Think about social media channels for a moment. It doesn’t matter if it’s a lifestyle, motoring or tech. Everyone who wants to succeed pay attention to details. The scene must be set to attract the viewer. That’s real life and often unconscious application of the 5S. It works!
5S is more than manufacturing environment aid
Implementation of 5S has moved beyond manufacturing a long time ago. Have you ever stopped to think about how well organised retail areas are? Thousands of customers are moving stock around single store every day. And yet you will always find clothes arranged by size and type at any given time. Your favourite spaghetti will sit in the aisle labelled “pasta”. This is no coincidence. Highly trained staff make sure that damaged goods are removed, shelves are kept in order and cleanliness is maintained. If customer feedback was not enough, there is a “mystery shopper” who will audit the store.
