Across the UK, manufacturers are increasingly turning to 5S as a practical way to organise workspaces, improve efficiency and create clear, consistent routines. With many organisations focused on reducing waste and strengthening day-to-day reliability, interest in structured workplace-organisation methods continues to grow.
Manufacturing teams report that adopting 5S helps reduce unnecessary searching, supports smoother handovers between shifts, and makes it easier to maintain agreed standards. These gains are often driven by clearer layouts, defined storage locations, and straightforward routines that support everyday discipline.
There is also a noticeable shift toward placing more emphasis on sustaining 5S over the long term. Many organisations are reviewing layouts regularly, reinforcing expectations with visual cues, and embedding routines that help maintain improvements once they are made.
As manufacturers look ahead to 2025, 5S is expected to remain an important component of operational improvement efforts, helping teams work more consistently and maintain a well-organised environment.

Our Approach
We create visual management boards everyday. As a result we have plenty of experience. We work for organisations in food production, the power industry, national rail, pharmaceuticals, education, healthcare, packaging and distribution.
Our team works with a simple idea or sketch and creates a professionally designed layout. This is then turned into a highly functional visual management board.
We offer customised options because we want to create the perfect board for you. So, here are a few examples. We can add magnetic areas or a dry-wipe finish (for use with whiteboard pens). Furthermore, you can choose Red/Green sliders or R.A.G. (Red, Amber, Green) status dials so you can quickly and visually update your board. These are just a few examples of the ways in which our boards can be tailored to meet your needs. You may also be interested in whiteboard overlays that can be used on top of an existing magnetic board.
