6.0 Contact hours: In this course, you will learn the 5S Workplace Organization methodology—Sort, Set, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain—and how to apply it effectively in a laboratory setting. When implemented correctly, 5S creates a visually organized, efficient, and orderly workspace.

We will explore the key steps for planning, preparing, and executing 5S in the lab, as well as its role as a foundational Lean philosophy. By embedding 5S into daily operations, it becomes a natural part of workplace culture and sets the stage for continuous improvement initiatives.

This course emphasizes team participation and the importance of involving those who work in the area of focus. You will also learn strategies for maintaining compliance through weekly audits, follow-ups, and structured documentation. By the end of this course, you will be equipped to develop, plan, recruit, and implement 5S workplace organization in any setting—whether in your lab, organization, or home.
