    of 5S
    Why 5S?
    Why 5S?
    What is 5S?

    • A system for workplace organization


    • Creates a “visual workplace”
    • Visual management, controls, and
    information systems
    • Foundational to “Lean”

    • 5S:
    • Sort
    • Set in order
    • Shine
    • Standardize
    • Sustain
    What is 5S?

    • Sort – All unneeded tools, parts and supplies are removed from the
    area
    • Set in Order – A place for everything and everything in its place
    • Shine – The area is cleaned as the work is performed
    • Standardize – Standard work, methods, and previous steps are
    consistently applied
    • Sustain – 5S is a habit that is continually applied and improved.
    5S Key benefits
    1. Increased Productivity
    The compete removal of unnecessary items along with efficient workplace maximization is sufficient to help improve productivity. Less
    time spent searching through unnecessary items means more time spent adding value
    2. Improved Safety
    A clean workplace environment, especially in a manufacturing unit can result in significant reduction in the number of injuries sustained
    by workers. Cuts, trips, slips, falls, falling objects.
    Also, the reduction in unnecessary travel through the workspace environment further minimizes the risk of sustaining injuries by limiting
    exposure to unsafe areas in the facility.
    3. Reduction in Waste
    Implementing 5S will also yield a fair reduction in lost and damaged items in the workplace.
    A clear and organized workplace with proper labeling provides workers the flexibility to replace damaged items in the designated places,
    thereby minimizing the total number of misplaced and lost tools and equipment. Further, the appropriate management of equipment
    also minimizes damages that are generally caused to various parts of the products during the production process.
    4. Worker Commitment
    Achieving worker commitment is one of the major goals of implementing 5S lean manufacturing training.
    This is because the workers would be largely responsible for using it on the ground. 5S emphasizes on worker participation by
    streamlining their work and allowing them to provide inputs to make productive changes in the overall design of the workplace and also
    to carry out its maintenance tasks.
    This encourages worker involvement for long-term workplace sustainability which in turn enhances their commitment towards work.
    This improvement also provides ancillary benefits of lower absenteeism in the workplace.
    The 6th S

    • Safety – Sometimes 5S will be


    called 6S. This is meant to call to
    mind that if 5S is correctly and
    consistently implemented it
    leads to improved workplace
    safety.
