6s is a systematic approach for productivity, quality, and safety improvement that is applicable to all types of business. Established by Toyota in the 1950s as 5S, a sixth S has been added to increase the focus on Safety. In addition to Safety, the other five S represent five Japanese disciplines for maintaining visual control at a workplace – Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke – that can be translated from the Japanese to Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain.
The 6s methodology focuses on having visual order, organization, cleanliness, and standardization. It simplifies and organizes a work environment, and reduces waste and non-value activity, while improving quality, efficiency, and safety. And a well- organized workplace motivates people.
Participants in this course will gain valuable insight into the 6S methodology through theoretical training and hands-on application. Additionally, QSG offers to work with participants’ organizations in the development of strategic 6S planning, execution, and tracking of a 6s program.
QSG’s 6S Training program is designed for manufacturing floor staff (including operators), supervisors, and office staff, such as engineers.
Through training and doing, participants will gain a thorough understanding of the principles and techniques necessary to implement, control, and improve a world-class 6S program.

Quality Support Group provides world class training in many useful topics. Their trainers, specifically Don and Dave, are very knowledgeable and genuinely there to help you learn and understand. I took their Green Belt training and certification, and highly recommend it. They have excellent training material, software tools, and activities. They are teaching from many years of experience and have so much technical and industry knowledge that makes it easier to relate to, understand, and apply the concepts. From this experience, I will definitely be looking to get more training from them to improve my skills. I highly recommend reaching out to QSG for your training needs and more. My company, Hexagon, has trusted them for years, having them continually train our employees in regulatory standards, problem solving 8D, continuous improvement, etc
