Practical Visual Systems, Designed Around the Work
5trak designs custom shadow boards and visual management systems that make lean 5S practical in Australian workplaces. The approach is simple: start with the tools, equipment and work area, then design a visual system around how they need to be organised and used.
About 5trak
Custom rather than one-size-fits-all
Industrial work areas differ in their tools, available space, workflows and visual standards. 5trak systems are configured around those real requirements rather than a predetermined board template.
Defined positions make the expected location of tools and equipment visible. This can make missing or incorrectly returned items easier to recognise and give teams a clearer reference for how the area is meant to be organised.
Shadow boards are most directly relevant to Set in Order within a lean 5S programme. Where layouts, labels and visual conventions are applied consistently, they can also support Standardise. The routines required to Sustain 5S remain part of the customer’s wider management system.
Industrial experience
5trak works across food and beverage, manufacturing, agriculture, mining, aerospace and other structured operational environments. Explore selected project examples to see how custom systems have been applied in real workplace settings.
What makes 5trak different
Four principles behind every system
Custom by design
Start with the actual tools, work area and application.
Industrial focus
Design for practical workplace use rather than decorative storage.
Visual control
Use defined positions and clear visual cues to show the expected arrangement.
Workflow relevance
Connect the layout to where and how tools and equipment are actually used.
