Building Consistency Through Standardized Work

Elite Industrial Solutions provides Standardized Work Instruction (SWI) training and consulting to help organizations improve consistency, quality, safety, and productivity. Our SWI approach ensures critical tasks are performed the right way, every time—reducing variation and strengthening operational discipline.

We focus on practical, easy‑to‑use standards that support frontline teams and supervisors in daily execution.

Our approach focuses on practical implementation that supports daily operations—not cosmetic changes.

What Is SWI (Standardized Work Instruction)?

Standardized Work Instruction is a structured method for documenting and training the best known way to perform a task. SWIs clearly define:

  • The sequence of work

  • Key quality and safety points

  • Time and performance expectations

When implemented correctly, SWIs become a foundation for training, accountability, and continuous improvement—not static documents.

What Is 5S / 6S?

5S (or 6S, which includes Safety) is a structured workplace organization methodology designed to improve efficiency, safety, and discipline.

The core elements include:

  • Sort – Remove unnecessary items

  • Set in Order – Organize for efficiency and flow

  • Shine – Maintain clean, functional work areas

  • Standardize – Establish clear, repeatable standards

  • Sustain – Embed discipline and accountability

  • Safety (6S) – Integrate safety into daily work

When implemented correctly, 5S / 6S becomes a management system—not just a housekeeping exercise.
