Abstract
Although office and administrative activities are usually 60 percent of the production costs in most manufacturing organizations, these areas often get excluded during lean initiatives. To achieve lean, office activities must fully support shop floor manufacturing operations to eliminate waste. The adoption of 5S throughout all office and administrative functions is the first step to increase efficiency.
In 5S for the Office: Organizing the Workplace to Eliminate Waste, Tom Fabrizio and Don Tapping bring the concepts of the 5S System -- effective tools for the elimination of waste on the shop floor -- into the office environment. The activities at the heart of 5S for the Office (organizing, ordering, cleaning, standardizing, and sustaining all of these) are completely logical. They are the basic rules for managing any effective workplace. However, it is the systematic method with which the 5S system approaches these activities that makes it unique.
This book is a blueprint for building a Lean foundation for your office
Readers of this book can immediately apply the concepts of 5S to their office and administrative activities, resulting in the elimination of waste, reduced production costs, and increased profits.

Abstract
This course arose out of our work in the care of women in labour, their babies, and their families. Our single overriding objective is to improve the outcome and the process of intrapartum care. One way to achieve that objectie is through our continuing education. The ALARM course is one means of that education. The course is maintained and taught by family physicians, nurses and midwives and obstetricians. It has had the administrative support and backing of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada. It is based on the best current evidence we have about what works to improve care, and incorporates Canadian practice guidelines.
