Effective Waste Management

Current difficult trading conditions have highlighted the necessity for manufacturing and trade businesses in particular to cut waste and minimise costs for the client.

Many manufacturers have adopted the 5 'S' System: a structured systematic approach to hosuekeeping and the cornerstone of every world-class manufacturing operation.

The 5 'S' System involves creating and organising the workplace using the following steps:

• Shine - cleaning the work area
• Standardise - the rules and standards
• Sustain - maintaining the standard in a disciplined way
