Custom 5S Posters
5S is a part of lean manufacturing that
helps reduce waste and improve quality and productivity,
through cleaning up and getting organized. Although
5S utilizes common sense principles, getting
a 5S program started involves changing employee
work habits. And that can be difficult.
Custom posters and signs that present information
at the point of need can be valuable tools in
overcoming old work habits, which helps implement
and sustain your 5S program.
The term "5s" refers to the five
Japanese words that describe the five steps.
5s posters can be a valuable tool in each of
these five steps.
What are the Five S's?
- (Seiri) Sorting
- (Seiton) Systematic Organization
- (Seiso) Shine
- (Seiketsu) Standardize
- (Shitsuke) Sustain

The first step in a successful 5s program is to train your employees so they understand what a 5s program is; what the benefits are; and what they need to do. Having 5s posters in each work area, reminding employees of what 5s involves and the benefits they can expect, is a good way to reinforce your training.
5s posters should also be used to provide information
needed to sustain what has been accomplished with
5s. For example, procedures and check lists for
starting and ending a shift can be posted so they
are easy to see and read.
Varitronics Poster Printers - A Valuable Business
Tool
In addition to creating your own custom 5S posters,
a Varitronics poster printer is a valuable tool
in other areas. For example, it can be used to
create training aids that can be used right on
the shop floor, or in the field, in locations
were a PowerPoint presentation can't be used.
Posters and signs are an excellent way to communicate
safety rules, start up procedures, and to post
information about upcoming events.
A poster printer can make large format visuals
(posters, signs and banners) used at trade shows
and for sales presentations. You can print custom
motivational posters and make high-impact signs
that support your quality program.
Yes, a Varitronics poster printer is an excellent
tool to help implement and sustain your 5s program,
but it can also be used throughout your organization
as an effective and economical communication tool.
