The 5S Philosophy

focuses on effective work place organization and standardized

work procedures. 5S simplifies your work environment, reduces

waste and non-value activity while improving quality, efficiencyand safety.

If youre going to do it, do it RIGHT!

workplace.

An effective visual method to identify these unneeded items is called

red tagging. A red tag is placed on all items not required to complete

your job. These items are then moved to a central holding area. This

process is for evaluation of the red tag items. Occasionally used items

are moved to a more organized storage location outside of the work

area while unneeded items are discarded.

Once you have eliminated the clutter/mess and junk that has been clogging

your work areas and identified and located the necessary items, the next

step is to thoroughly clean the work area. Daily follow-up cleaning is

necessary in order to sustain this improvement. Workers take pride in a

clean and clutter-free work area and the Shine step will help create

ownership in the equipment and facility.

Workers will also begin to notice changes in equipment and facility

location such as air, oil and coolant leaks, repeat contamination and

vibration,fatigue, breakage, and misalignment. These changes, if left

unattended, could lead to equipment failure and loss of production. Both

add up to impact your companys bottom line.

Once the first three of the 5Ss have been implemented, you should

concentrate on standardizing best practicein your work area. Allow your

employees to participate in the development and documentation of such

standards. They are a valuable but often overlooked source of information

regarding their work.

This is by far the most difficult Sto implement and achieve.

Human nature is to resist change and more than a few

organizations have found themselves with a dirty cluttered shop afew months following their attempt to implement 5S. The tendency

is to return to the status quo and the comfort zone of the "old way"

of doing things.

Sustain focuses on defining a new status quo and standard of

work place organization.

The 5S Philosophy

Once fully implemented, the 5Sprocess can increase moral, create

positive impressions on customers, and increase efficiency of

organization.

Not only will employees feelbetter about where they work, the

effect on continuous

improvement can lead to less

waste, better quality and shorter

lead times. Any of which will

make your organization more

profitable and competitive in the

market place
