The Office 5S Poster depicts the meaning, principles and practices of an organized, standardized and productive office.
The poster is available in two distinct themes: a vibrant color scheme and a professional monochrome version. In both formats, the poster comes in a convenient PDF as well as an editable PPTX format, enabling effortless printing on A3/A4-sized paper from standard office copier machines. This versatile resource can be prominently displayed on employee workstations or distributed alongside your training materials.
Furthermore, the poster is an ideal supplement to Lean-related training presentations. It serves as a valuable takeaway, summarizing the core principles of 5S and reinforcing the key takeaways from your training.
