SORT

"Sorting" means to sort

through everything in

each work area. Keep

only what is necessary.

Materials, tools,

equipment and supplies

that are not frequently

used should be moved to

a separate, common

storage area. Items that

are not used should be

discarded.

SET IN ORDER

Organise, arrange and identify everything in the

work area for the most efficient and effective

retrieval and return to its proper place.

Commonly used tools should be readily available.

Storage areas, cabinets and shelves should be

properly labelled. Clean and paint floors to make

it easier to spot dirt, waste materials and

dropped parts and tools. Outline areas on the

floor to identify work areas, movement lanes,

storage areas, finished product areas, etc. Put

shadows on tool boards, making it easy to quickly

see where each tool belongs.

SHINE

Once you have everything, from each individual

work area up to your entire facility, sorted

(cleaned up) and organised, you need to keep it

that way. This requires regular cleaning, or to go

along with our third S, "shining" things up.

Regular, usually daily, cleaning is needed or

everything will return to the way it was. This could

also be thought of as inspecting. While cleaning

it's easy to also inspect the machines, tools,

equipment and supplies you work with.

STANDARDISE

The good practices developed in steps 1 - 3 should

be standardised and made easy to accomplish.

Develop a work structure that will support the new

practices and make them habitual. Update and

modify the standards to make the process simpler

and easier.

One of the hardest steps is avoiding old work

habits. It's easy to slip back into what you've been

doing for years.

Use standards to help people work into new habits

that are a part of your Five S program.

SUSTAIN

Have a formal system for monitoring the

results of your Five S program.

Don't expect that you can clean up, get

things organised and labelled, and ask

people to clean and inspect their areas every

day — and then have everything continue to

happen without any follow-up.

Continue to educate people about

maintaining standards.Monitoring systems

Safety the extra S

Do we need to say any more?

The last S should be incorporated

into ALL of the previous 5!

For example:

In addition to red tagging unwanted

items in the sort stage, you could

also yellow tag items which are

hazardous / unsafe / potential

pollutants and ensure that they are

properly housed and managed!

Can you think of any other ways we

can incorporate HSE into 5S?
