5S system
The heart and soul of visual management is 5S. It is systematic approach to workplace
organization and cleaning that will transform a disorganized workplace into an efficient running
machine.
The 5Ss are: listed by English & Japanese language
• Sort (Seiri) – The first step in 5S is to eliminate all the things in the workspace that are
not being used and store them away. If a tool are material is not used on a daily basis,
eliminate it from the workstation.
• Set in Order(Systematize / Stabilize / Straighten)(Seiton) – The second step is to
arrange the items used on a daily basis so that they can be easily accessed and quickly
stored. Your goal is to make eliminate any unnecessary movements and actions by the
worker to make his process as efficient as possible.
• Shine/Sweep/Clean (Seiso) – Next is to get everything cleaned and functioning
properly. The goal is to remove all the dirt and the grime and to keep it that way on daily
basis. You want to get it clean and keep it clean.
• Standardize/Sanitize (Seiketsu) – The fourth step is to develop a routine for sorting,
setting and shining. Standardize creates a system of tasks and procedures that will ensure
that the principles of 5S are performed on a daily basis.
• Sustain/Self-discipline (Shitsuke) – In the last step, you want to create a culture that
will follow the steps on a daily basis. The chief objective of sustain is to give your staff
the commitment and motivation to follow each step, day in and day out.

SEIRE (SORT)
Sorting is a step that involves selecting what you need to complete the job and removing
everything else from your work area.
Taking out and disposing unnecessary items.
Sort/classify the items that you “need” from the items that you “want or not
needed”.
Dispose the items that you do not need and regroup the items that you need..
Clearly distinguish needed (frequently used) items from unneeded items and eliminate the later.
PROCESS/PROCEDURE:
Step 3: - After a certain period, check if the item is still needed or not.
- If no one needs the item after 3 months, it only means that the item is no longer needed
hence, dispose the item right away.
NOTE:
• It is recommended that this approach be used company-wide, involving people
from different departments.
• Never keep anything which is unnecessary to your work.
• While looking around for unnecessary items in your workplace, look at every
nook and corner like when you are looking for cockroaches.
This step customizes your workstation and surrounding area to meet your work area needs.
Arrange remaining items so they are easy to select, use, and to return to their proper location.
Arrangement / organization of necessary items in good order for use.
Keep needed items in correct place and sequence of use to allow easy and quick retrieval.
PROCESS/PROCEDURE:
Step 1: - Make sure that all unnecessary items are eliminatedfrom your workplace.
- Decide where you can place necessary items.
- Take into consideration the flow of your work.
- Take into account the movement of carts or even people passing your desk from this
point of view to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Step 2: - Place frequently needed items close to the user to minimize effort and time wastage.
- Things that are not used often could be placesslightly farther away.
- Make a plan on these principles and locate/storethings accordingly.
Placement of Materials/Equipment Based on Frequency of Use
STEP 3: - It is necessary to make sure that everyone in your workplace knows where things are
kept for efficient use.
