Apply 5S in an office
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to an individual in an office environment who is required to apply the structured approach known as 5S.
While covering the traditional 5S skills, the unit also requires the application of skills associated with planning and organising, problem solving and self-management in order to identify and implement 5S practices in an office environment.
The office environment for 5S may include administrative, transactional or service-based processes in, or attached to, a manufacturing organisation, within their value stream or similar environments, such as health care, education, financial, construction or Defence services.
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required by an office employee to apply 5S procedures to their own job or to assist in a cooperative 5S implementation for a larger office area. The unit includes the skills required to adapt a traditional 5S approach to the particular issues and needs in an office implementation.
