What is 5S?

SORT/ SEIRI
◦The first step of 5S, Sort, involves going through all the tools,
furniture, materials, equipment, etc. in a work area to determine
what needs to be present and what can be removed. Some
questions to ask during this phase include:
 What is the purpose of this item?
 When was this item last used?
 How frequently is it used?
 Who uses it?
 Does it really need to be here?
SET IN ORDER/SEITON

◦ Once the extra clutter is gone, it's easier to see what's what. Now work groups
can come up with their own strategies for sorting through the remaining items.
Things to consider:
 Which people (or workstations) use which items?
 When are items used?
 Which items are used most frequently?
 Should items be grouped by type?
 Where would it be most logical to place items?
 Would some placements be more ergonomic for workers than others?
 Would some placements cut down on unnecessary motion?

◦ Are more storage containers necessary to keep things organized?


SHINE/SEISO
◦The Shine stage of 5S focuses on cleaning up the work area,
which means sweeping, mopping, dusting, wiping down surfaces,
putting tools and materials away, etc.

◦Also involves performing regular maintenance on equipment and


machinery.
STANDARDIZE/SEIKETSU
◦Standardize assigns regular tasks, creates schedules, and posts
instructions so these activities become routines. It makes
standard operating procedures for 5S so that orderliness doesn't
fall by the wayside.
SUSTAIN/SHITSUKE
◦Sustain refers to the process of keeping 5S running smoothly, but
also of keeping everyone in the organization involved. Managers
need to participate, as do employees out on the manufacturing
floor, in the warehouse, or in the office. Sustain is about making
5S a long-term program, not just an event or short-term project.
Ideally, 5S becomes a part of an organization's culture. And when
5S is sustained over time, that's when businesses will start to
notice continuous positive results.
