5S is the perfect tool to identify the first improvement projects in your company to eliminate waste. Although sometimes viewed as a housekeeping technique, it is actually an innovative management system that helps people think lean, paving the way for the adoption of Understanding the 5S methodology

And here’s the best part: implementing 5S is a breeze! With this logical, step-by-step guide, you’ll learn what the big deal about 5S is, how to devise an action plan for 5S implementation, and how best to wield this powerful tool for improved productivity, elimination of wasteful processes, and all-round development!

Implementing 5S to Gain Benefits


Sort:

  • Separate required tools, materials, and instructions from those that are not needed. Remove everything that is not necessary from the work area.

Store:

  • Sort and organize all tools, equipment, files, data, material, and resources for quick, easy location, and use. Label all storage locations, tools, and equipment.

Shine:

  • Set new standards for cleanliness. Clean and remove all trash, grease, and dirt. Everything must be clean, tidy, and neatly put in its appropriate place. Cleanliness provides a safe workplace—and makes potential problems noticeable, e.g., equipment leaks, loose parts, missing guards, loose paperwork, or materials.

Standardize:

  • Engage the workforce to systematically perform steps 1, 2, and 3 above daily, to maintain the workplace in perfect condition as a standard process. Establish schedules and set expectations for adherence.

Sustain:

  • Make 5S part of your culture, and incorporate it into the corporate philosophy. Build organizational commitment so that 5S becomes one of your organizational values so that everyone develops 5S as a habit. Integrate the 5S methodology into the performance management system.

The Action Plan

You can start implementing 5S by providing training to your staff to understand the system. This may be followed up with one-day sessions with each employee or team to ensure they are on the same page as far as implementation is concerned.

In the first one-day session, employees should look be ready to meet the first three 5S requirements:.

  1. Sort to separate anything that is needed and necessary from what is not needed.
  2. Organize the things you need so that there is a place for everything and everything has a place. You should be able to find anything in just a few seconds.
  3. Clean the workplace and get rid of things that make it difficult to maintain cleanliness, such as boxes on the floor that prevent you from being able to clean the entire surface — label them store them in labeled drawers, instead.
  4. Prepare an action plan for the items you aren’t able to deal with that day, but will be able to in the near future. This could include selling items you no longer use, donating them, recycling, or throwing them away.
