“5S” Workplace Improvement
LEAN - “Improving the System of Work”
Lean is a production practice that focuses on minimizing waste and maximizing productivity.
Lean originates from the Toyota Production System and the aim of lean manufacturing is to streamline operations and improve efficiency by eliminating non-value-added activities.
What is “5S”?
“5S” is a five step method for organizing and improving the efficiency of the workplace.
This includes the removal of clutter from the work so that opportunities for improvement can be seen.
The five steps come from Japanese words beginning with “S”.
Seiri = Sort
Seiton = Set in Order
Seiso = Shine
Seiketsu = Standardize
Shitsuke = Sustain

Hello, and welcome to The Lean Learning Academy!
My name is Ben Root and I am a senior coach with The Lean Learning Academy.
My journey in training and development began at Kent State University, where I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. While working at NUMMI I received a Master’s Degree in Human Resource Development from Golden Gate University in San Francisco, CA.
The real excitement for developing others sparked as I joined NUMMI.
There, I had the unique opportunity to watch first hand as an automobile company with over 7,000 employees went from the Worst of the Worst automobile plants to the Best of the Best plants in a very short time as they transitioned to the Toyota Production System or what many today call “LEAN”.
