Is 5S Part of HR Training and Development? Seeking Insights on Its Role and Relevance

Is 5S a part of training and development in HR? Does it come under a specific topic? Please let me know.

When it comes to training, it falls under the HR's portfolio. Imparting training on 5S to employees is a crucial aspect of HR. 5S is a part of TPM (Total Productive Maintenance).

Thank you.

5S Training in Manufacturing Plants

5S in our manufacturing plant used to be imparted by technical, especially production personnel, mainly due to the following reasons:

1. We were manufacturing chemicals (highly aggressive).
2. Housekeeping used to be very important.
3. The reasons for housekeeping getting disturbed are mainly the handling of chemicals, movement of machines, and their auxiliaries, etc.
4. HR used to track the training calendars and, through the technical persons, monitor the performance of the individuals and the outcome of the training.
5. As Mr. Ankit wrote, it is a prelude to TPM.

Thanks & regards,
