 RECAP
In the previous module, you have learned how to create modular box cables. You
were made aware that for telephone systems, data networks, and low-speed serial
connections, modular connectors are widely used. These connectors are cheap, easy
to plug and unplug, and relatively easy to terminate. Usually, a modular connector
has a transparent, plastic shell, with a tab that when linked locks the plug and jack
into place. "They are called "RJ45" in the vernacular used by the technology industry.
You also learned to the scheme, called the Universal Service Order Code (USOC),
used designations to indicate the capacities of jacks in a building that started with
the letters RJ and how they should be wired to connect to the public telephone
network. Usually, RJ plug connections are terminated using a special tool to crimp
the connector onto a cable's conductors. These ties are often made for convenience
in the field; however, the best performance is usually provided by a factory-
assembled RJ cable. With these, you can now create modular box cable. This module
tackles about 5S principles, where you will know the steps of 5S, and each
explanations.

LESSON

5S principle is described as a methodology that results in a clean,

uncluttered, safe, and well-organized workspace that helps to minimize waste and
maximize productivity. It is built, both physically and mentally, to help create a
quality work environment.

The 5S framework is a lean manufacturing system that increases productivity

in the workplace and reduces waste. In the method, there are five steps, each
beginning with the letter S:

5S helps facilities prevent lost efficiency from disrupted work or unplanned

downtime by offering a systematic structure for organization and cleanliness. In
Japan, 5S was created, and the original "S" words were in Japanese, so English
translations can differ for each of the five measures. However, it is easy to understand
the basic ideas and the ties between them.
The Steps of 5S
STEP NAME JAPANESE TERM EXPLANATION
1. Sort Seiri (tidiness) Remove any unnecessary
things from each area.
2. Set in order Seiton (orderliness) Organization and
detection of storage for
productive use.
3. Shine Seiso (cleanliness) Regularly clean and
inspect each area.
4. Standardize Seiketsu (standardization) Incorporate 5S into
traditional operating
processes.
5. Sustain Shitsuke (discipline) Assign liability, track
progress, and continue
the cycle

These steps feed into each other, which is why the sequence is important. In
step 1 (Sort), cleaning out unnecessary materials will provide the space required to
arrange the essential things in step 2. (Set in Order). And, in step 3, dirt and grime
can be eliminated until the work room is de-cluttered and organized (Shine). Via
phase 4, these improvements to the job duties and work climate of employees should
be reflected in revised procedures (Standardize). Finally, unless accountability is
delegated and progress is monitored, as required for phase 5, these new procedures
will not amount to much (Sustain). And staff will continue to apply the measures
with accountability and monitoring, returning to step 1.

Step 1: Sort - Sort, or "seiri," which translates to "tidiness," is the first phase in the
5S method. The aim of the Sort step is to remove clutter and clean up room by
eliminating items that do not belong in the place.

Take a close look at the objects, equipment, and materials in a working area
for this move. Things that are required or useful in that room for the work being done
should be kept there. It should delete everything else.
Step 2: Set In Order - "Initially, the second step, Set In Order, was called "seiton,"
which translates to "orderliness." In English, for example, a variety of names were
used: "Systematic Arrangement," "Straightening Out," and "Simplify. No matter what
it's called, this step's aim is to organize the field of work. It should be easy to locate,
use, and return each item: a place for all, and everything in its place.

Tools which are regularly used should be kept near the location where they
are used. In a central location, where many teams can share them, spare equipment,
materials, and other tools that are used less frequently can be stored.

Step 3: Shine - While the first and second steps cleaned up space and structured
the area for performance, this step targets the dirt and grime that eventually builds
up under the clutter and works to prevent it from coming back. The third step of 5S
is Shine, or "seiso," which means "cleanliness."

Every now and then, Shine moves well beyond sweeping a broom around. It
includes routine cleaning, often a frequent wipe-down, and a more thorough cleaning
each week, of any section of the work area.

Step 4: Standardize - The basics of clearing, arranging, and cleaning a workspace

are addressed in the first three stages of 5S; those steps would have short-term
benefits on their own. Standardize, or 'seiketsu,' is the fourth level, which simply
means standardization. You will integrate the latest methods into standard work
processes by writing down what is being done, when and by whom. It paves the way
for long-term transformation.

"If it's not written down, it doesn't happen." Writing down the choices you
make in your 5S program will help ensure that your task does not just vanish. In the
Set in Order stage, if you have made a 5S map, that map can be part of your new
area norm. In the same way, you should write down the method that you use for red-
tagging products and include it in the standards.

Step 5: Sustain - Sustain, or' shitsuke,' which literally means' discipline,' is the fifth
phase in a 5S program. The definition here is continuing dedication. In an ongoing
period, it is necessary to follow through on the decisions you have made, and
constantly return to the earlier steps of 5S.

The 5S strategy was never intended to be a one-time occurrence, but a

continuing series. This is significant since early achievements in 5S can pave the way
for problems. In the Sort process, if open space becomes usable, but afterwards, tools
and materials can fill the space gradually without any coordination, the result may
be an even greater mess. As a regular part of normal work, the solution is to apply
the 5S ideas over and over. That is why it is so important to keep up.
Although it is the last stage in the chain, maintain is not the end of 5S. One
pass through the steps will disclose issues that were concealed beforehand. Again,
following the measures will address these issues and help find new ways of
improving. To keep your facility at the height of its capacity, go through the cycle
again and again.
5S shows us how to plan a task. Quality and efficiency room by identification
and recycling of used products, Maintenance of the region and goods, and
maintenance of the new order.

WRAP-UP

This module talked about the 5S principles. The 5S strategy was never
intended to be a one-time occurrence, but a continuing series. This is significant
since early achievements in 5S can pave the way for problems. In the Sort process,
if open space becomes usable, but afterwards, tools and materials can fill the space
gradually without any coordination, the result may be an even greater mess. As a
regular part of normal work, the solution is to apply the 5S ideas over and over. That
is why it is so important to keep up.

In addition, 5S shows us how to plan a task. Quality and efficiency room by

identification and recycling of used products, Maintenance of the region and goods,
and maintenance of the new order.
