Kaizen Products Releases 5S ActionPack Upgrade Designed for the Lean...

Kaizen Products LLC today released its 5S ActionPack product upgrade. Designed to serve those getting started in Toyota Production System methods, the $349.00 multi-media training kit is available at www.kaizenproducts.com.



The 5S principles are a fundamental tool of the Toyota Production System, recognized world wide as a model of operational excellence. The 5S practice of Sort, Straighten, Sweep, Standardize and Self-Discipline are essential to establishing and maintain safety, quality, on-time delivery and productivity in any workplace.



Achieving the goals of each S requires a specific set of activities. The Kaizen Products 5S ActionPack has been designed by kaizen consultants from Gemba Research to guide a 5S team through each of the steps.



The newly designed 5S ActionPack includes a 55- page Facilitator's8217;s Guide, 10 Participant's8217;s Guides, a CD containing a PowerPoint presentation and worksheets, 10 copies of the Quick Guide to 5S, a pack of 100 red tags for marking excess property, 10 wallet sized 5S / 7 Waste cards, a Quick Start Guide and 's8220;5S In A Bag,'s8221; a game designed to teach the importance of 5S in any work environment.



The 's8216;5S In A Bag's8217; game was developed to teach 5S to people in a practical way in under 15 minutes. It's8217;s a fast and fun way to show people the value of organization 's8211; it really drives home the point that if we's8217;d just 's8216;5S this mess,'s8217; we's8217;d be a lot more productive,'s8221; says Kent Bradley, VP North America for Gemba Research.



The 5S ActionPack Facilitator's8217;s Guide takes the 5S team leader through the process step by step, including tips for first-time presenters and real-life manufacturing adventures of 5S implementation from The Lean Ranger.



The Lean Ranger is an alter-ego we developed to share the adventures of Gemba's8217;s Lean consultants. A lot of weird things happen during 5S projects. We didn's8217;t want to embarrass anybody, so we came up with The Lean Ranger. He hasn's8217;t seen it all, but he's8217;s seen a lot. His exploits make the ActionPack series a lot more fun,'s8221; says Charles Lukey, Kaizen Products Editor.



Kaizen Product's8217;s 5S ActionPack is available now at www.kaizenproducts.com or by calling (877) 465-2493.
