About
The Challenge
The 5S training was an amazing experience for our team! Having been involved in multiple pieces of training in my career, I can easily say this was amazing training. Not only was it very specific for our needs it was engaging for our entire employee base and benefits that came because of this experience have been innumerable. After several months, our team continues to refer to and rely on the concepts that were learned in this training. This is something we plan to work on for years to come! We see the value of this daily and It’s rare that a week goes by that we don’t get outside validation from suppliers and customers who see what we’ve done and are amazed at the changes!
MEP's Role
To have their employees trained and coached to better understand the 5S system and how implementing its principles will increase productivity and optimize processes. iMpact Utah embarked on a 4-month partnership with Jack’s Ornamental Iron to conduct their onsite 5S training with a select group of 10 employees who would become the company champions of the 5S program. Training sessions were conducted onsite with the Jacks team once a week for four hours a session over 12 weeks.
