What is 5S ?

1. Sort
 Remove all items from the workplace that are not
needed for current production or administrative
operation.
“only what is needed, only in the
 Keep

amount needed, and only when it is needed”.

and other resources can be
managed and used most
effectively
 Problem and the work

2. Set-In-Order
 Arranging needed items in the way easy to use and
so that easy to find and put away(visual
management)

10
 What is 5S ?

Set in order
 Arrange needed items so;
 it is easy to use.
 label them so that anyone can find them easily and put th
em agin.
 Set-in-order is important because it eliminates;
 Time spent searching for an item
 Motion wastes
 Difficulty returning item to its original place
 Excess inventory
 Reduce damage
 safety

01-11
 What is 5S ?

 There are two strategies correspond to set-in

-order;

1. Visual Control
2. Motion Economy

01-12
 What is 5S ?

1. Visual Control Strategy

A visual control is any communication device
used in the work environment that tells us at a
glance how work should be done.
 We can implement standardization in such a
way that all standards are identified by visual
control.

01-13
 What is 5S ?

Visual Control Techniques

 common visual control techniques;
1. Signboard strategy
2. Painting strategy
3. Color-code strategy
4. Outlining strategy
5. Visual Management Board (Kaizen
board) Strategy

01-14
 What is 5S ?

1. Signboard strategy
signboards are used to identify what, where a
nd how many
There are three types of signboards
 Location indicator
 Item indicator
 Amount indicator
 What is 5S ?

2. Painting strategy
Is a method for identifying locations on floors
and walk ways

2. Motion Economy Strategy

 The process of removing motion waste involve
s eliminating unnecessary motion from existin
g operation.
 By locating items in the best location possible,
we can minimize motion waste.

01-21
 What is 5S ?

Implement Motion Economy

 Below are three examples of elimination moti
on waste;
1. Keep frequently needed items close to you an
d rarely needed items away.
2. Frequently needed items are arranged for eas
y retrieval ergonomically.
3. Keep the processes close to each other and el
iminate zig-zag motion between them.

 What is 5S ?

What is Shine

 Shine means keep everything clean.

 When we Shine, we can’t avoid inspecting the

item at the same time. Therefore Shine and Ins
pect come together.

 What is 5S ?

What is Standardize
 Standardize is the method you use to maintain the
first three pillars (Sort, Set in order and Shine)
 Make it a rule to perform given work in the given

ecause it is a method used to sustain the first three
pillars rather than housekeeping activity.

 Make implementing them a daily habit
 Ensure that all the three pillars are maintained in t
heir fully implemented state.
2. Lead to work standardization
 Muda elimination
 Quality improvements
 Cost reduction
 Delivery time improvements
 Process improvements

Some techniques to sustain

 5S Slogan

s evaluate the results and encourage members to urge K
AIZEN.

2. Use Slogan and Poster of 5S Activity
 It encourage all the participants.

＜ Samples of slogan ＞
“Refresh yourself and workplaces by 5S activity.”

“Let's maintain current 5S activity and KAIZEN for tomorrow”

“We polish “Our Minds” as well us our factories”

Determine shine methods

 Choosing targets and tools:- define what will be cl
eaned in each area and what supplies and equipm
ent will be used
 Perform the five minute shine:- cleaning should be
practiced daily and should not require a lot time
 Creating standards for shine procedure:- peoples
needs to know what kinds of procedure to follow i
n order to use their time efficiently; Otherwise, the
y are likely to spend most of their time getting read
