(5SToday) -- 5SToday.com has announced the addition of the 5S Education Center to its website. The Education Center is a comprehensive collection of information about 5S, Lean Manufacturing, and product information, and covers a wide range of topics, from “What is 5S?” to “Total Quality Management.”

Methodologies like 5S and Six Sigma are gaining popularity as proven strategies for increasing productivity and efficiency, especially in manufacturing environments. At its core, 5S is a system of organization, and gets its name from the five basic principles of Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. Correctly implemented, 5S can help workplaces lower their costs, improve quality, increase safety and productivity, and foster greater employee satisfaction.

“More companies are realizing the significant benefits of 5S,” says Mike Wilson, Manager. “Our education center is a great resource for anyone who wants to find out how 5S can help them, and how to get started.”
