  Course Overview

5S is a method for workplace organisation which describes how to organise a workplace for maximum efficiency and effectiveness, using five Japanese words. Its main objective is to create a clean, orderly environment where there is a place for everything and everything is in its place. It is one of the most widely adopted techniques from the lean manufacturing toolbox. 

This 5S Training is designed to provide knowledge of the different elements of 5S. Starting with the benefits of 5S to an organisation, it then looks at how to remove unnecessary items, equipment layout, storage methods, and visual management. As well as this, general cleaning, activity planning and resourcing will also be covered, and the concepts of red-tagging and auditing. By the end of the course, delegates will be able to maintain and improve standards and implement plan development.

About Slough

Slough is a big city in Berkshire, England, 20 miles west of central London, 3 miles north of Windsor, 6 miles east of Maidenhead, 12 miles south-east of High Wycombe and 20 miles north-east of Reading. Sedentary at the entry to the Thames Valley and London and at the intersection of the M4, M40 and M25 motorways, it proposals easy road entrance to the rest of the UK. The A4 and the Great Western Main Line pass through the town, which was part of adjacent Buckinghamshire. From 2019, the Elizabeth Line will permit fast journeys to the heart of London.

Geography:

Slough is to the west of Greater London. Nearby cities are Windsor to the south, Maidenhead to the west, Uxbridge to the northeast and Beaconsfield to the north. Mostly Slough areas were anciently part of Buckinghamshire. The town advanced by the growth and merger of communities along the Great West Road. Over the years Marsh has lengthy highly, joining some, unlike villages. 

The urban area syndicates into the neighbouring groups of Burnham, a small area of Taplow near Chippenham, Farnham Royal and Stoke Poges which continue in the region of Buckinghamshire and Datchet which is also in Berkshire. Eton is barely cushioned by the Jubilee River and by green space from part of Slough, and the two areas previously shaped the Eton birth, marriages and deaths registration region.
