Learning Lean 5S: Quality Pocket of Knowledge (QPoK)

The second in ASQ’s Quality Pocket of Knowledge (QPoK) series, Learning Lean 5S: Quality Pocket of Knowledge (QPoK), is a comprehensive resource explaining how Lean 5S can benefit all aspects of a workplace.

Based on an article by James Van Patterson, originally appearing in Quality Progress magazine, this pocket-sized fold-out provides succinct information on Lean 5S principles—separate, straighten, scrub, standardize, and systematize—that reshapes how people think about the workplace and provides a foundation for overall improvement. The idea of 5S has a wide range of application and has the opportunity to change how people approach their work, their workplace, and each other.
