Do these points describe your
company work areas?
Space is crowded with parts and tools
Unneeded items are stacked between workers
Excess inventory on the floor
Excess items and machines make it difficult to
improve process flow
Equipment is dirty and a collection point for
miscellaneous materials
Needed equipment such as tools are difficult to
find
5S GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
WHAT IS 5S ?
5S is a set of TECHNIQUES
providing a standard approach
to GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
within the ORGANIZATION
About 5S
A cornerstone of 5S is that
untidy, cluttered work/study areas
are not productive.
People are happier
in a clean and tidy environment
and hence are inclined to work hard with
due care and attention.
WHY DO IT?
QUALITY EFFICIENCY
SAFETY
ELIMINATING
BREAKDOWNS
5S
EFFICIENCY
Time is wasted looking for tools, equipment and
paperwork, etc
A clean and tidy workplace leads to greater well
being and increased motivation
Team working makes unexciting work more
rewarding
ELIMINATE BREAKDOWNS
Breakdowns caused by the elimination of
dirt need never occur
Clear labelling and routine maintenance
are essential disciplines
A clean workplace highlights problems
early
SAFETY
Dirty cluttered workplaces are not safe
Safety depends on good care and
organisation
Safety should become second nature

In this photo you can see a rack
containing the forms and flyers
common in most HR departments
Let us assume 600 employees need to
go to this rack from time to time, and
say on an average, everyone does this
about three times a year.
Each person takes 15 minutes to look
through the rack. How much is the
search-hours ?
With 5S, it came down easily to a
minute or less per visit
How much is the increase in
productivity ?

How Does 5S Pay Off?
Preventative actions
Preventative actions
When a problem keeps occurring you need to
put into place actions to solve them. Do not
simply keep dealing with the symptoms, you
need to find the cause.
Why do tools get put back in the wrong place?
Why do items accumulate?
Why are the floors getting dirty? etc.
When you ask WHY repeatedly you will find the
problem.
5S OR 5D?
If 5S is not taken up seriously, then it leads
to 5D.
They are
Delays,
Defects,
Dissatisfied customers,
Declining profits and
Demoralized employees.
