The 5S
Philosophy
Based on Japanese words that begin with S, the 5S Philosophy
focuses on effective work place organization and standardized
work procedures. 5S simplifies your work environment, reduces
waste and non-value activity while improving quality efficiency
and safety.

Sort ((Seiri)

The first S focuses on eliminating unnecessary items from the
workplace.

Sort ((Seiri)
An effective visual method to identify these unneeded items is called
red tagging. A red tag is placed on all items not required to complete
your job. These items are then moved to a central holding area. This
process is for evaluation of the red tag items. Occasionally used items
are moved to a more organized storage location outside of the work
area while unneeded items are discarded.

Sorting frees up valuable floor space and eliminates such
things as broken tools, obsolete jigs and fixtures, scrap and
excess raw material.
The Sort process also helps prevent the hoarder job mentality
(I might need it).

Shine ((Seiso)
Once you have eliminated the clutter and junk that has been clogging your
work areas and identified and located the necessary items, the next step is
to thoroughly clean the work area. Daily follow-up cleaning is necessary in
order to sustain this improvement. Workers take pride in a clean and clutterfree work area and the Shine step will help create ownership in the
equipment and facility.

Workers will also begin to notice changes in equipment and facility
location such as air, oil and coolant leaks, repeat contamination and
vibration, broken, fatigue, breakage, and misalignment. These changes,
if left unattended, could lead to equipment failure and loss of production.
Both add up to impact your companys bottom line.

Standardize ((Seiketsu)
Once the first three of the 5Ss have been implemented, you should
concentrate on standardizing best practice in your work area. Allow your
employees to participate in the development and documentation of such
standards. They are a valuable but often overlooked source of information
regarding their work.

Sustain ((Seiketsu)
This is by far the most difficult S to implement and achieve.
Human nature is to resist change and more than a few
organizations have found themselves with a dirty cluttered shop a
few months following their attempt to implement 5S. The tendency
is to return to the status quo and the comfort zone of the "old way"
of doing things.
Sustain focuses on defining a new status quo and standard of
work place organization.

5S Philosophy
The 5S
Philosophy
Once fully implemented, the 5S process can increase moral, create
positive impressions on customers, and increase efficiency and
organization.
Not only will employees feel
better about where they work, the
effect on continuous
improvement can lead to less
waste, better quality and shorter
lead times. Any of which will
make your organization more
profitable and competitive in the
market place
