5S Your WIP to Accelerate your Value Stream Management (VSM) Journey

5S Your WIP to Accelerate your Value Stream Management (VSM) Journey

Applying the Lean 5S principles in value stream management can help declutter and enable higher time-to-value. Neglected work in progress (WIP) can accumulate due to changing priorities, over-ambitious schedules, unclear/changing requirements and more, leading to congestion and stalled work. The principles of 5S, from end-to-end across the value stream, can help to continuously improve the flow of business value-creating and protecting work by sorting, setting in order, shining, standardizing, and sustaining WIP. The Flow Institute provides a guided path to implement value stream management, including the application of 5S.
