Cultivating problem-finding skills through 5S activities! Eliminating employees who wait for instructions and fostering a proactive organization.
Ways to cultivate the ability to notice problems
In the VUCA era, what companies need is not just "problem-solving skills." In a complex and uncertain environment, the ability to identify issues on one's own, or "problem discovery skills," is the key to organizational growth. However, many Japanese companies tend to lack this ability. The reason for this is that, as a result of becoming too accustomed to "problems with correct answers" in school education, a mindset of waiting for problems to arise has developed. To cultivate this problem discovery ability, habitual efforts rooted in daily operations are necessary. 5S activities are the optimal means for this. Starting with sorting, organizing, and cleaning, 5S is the very process that uncovers the problems lurking in the workplace and leads to improvements. As the activities continue, employees begin to notice "this is strange" and naturally develop the ability to take initiative. For example, in our company's 5S training, employees patrol the office with checklists. In the early stages of the activity, there are many voices saying, "There are no particular problems," but after six months, issues that had previously gone unnoticed in the same workplace start to be discovered one after another. As improvements progress, operational efficiency increases, and the overall atmosphere of the workplace greatly improves. Would you like to transform your organization into a "noticing organization" through 5S activities?

basic information
Have you ever experienced that right after training, your motivation increases, but eventually you revert back to your old ways? Many one-time training sessions tend to result in a feeling of accomplishment without the learned content being internalized within the company, leading to a situation where it feels like 'we did it and that's it.' However, what is truly important in organizational reform and human resource development is the establishment of a 'continuous system.' The Smile-style 5S training emphasizes this 'continuity' and thoroughly supports the creation of an organization where each employee can think and act independently. We have a proven track record of achieving steady results. 【Features of Smile-style 5S Training】 ■ Employee-centered approach A system where employees discover problems themselves and think of solutions, promoting proactive participation. ■ Individualized support for mindset reform By interviewing all employees and sharing the purpose of activities, we create an environment where they can engage as 'their own issue.' ■ Habitual PDCA By establishing a culture of improvement through monthly training and feedback, we cultivate an environment where employees can voluntarily make proposals. Smile-style 5S training will assist you in maximizing the latent potential that your company possesses. ★★ For specific examples and details of the training program, please download the materials ★★
