    5S

    -Hiroyuki Hirano

    AMAR RAVEENDRAN
    What is 5S?

    5S is a workplace organization
    methodology that uses a list of
    five Japanese words which are seiri,
    seiton, seiso, seiketsu and shitsuke.
    Translated into English, they stand
    for:

    Sorting (seiri)
    Straightening (seiton)
    Systematic cleaning (seiso)
    Standardizing (seiketsu)
    Sustaining (shitsuke)
    Sorting (Seiri)

    Eliminate all unnecessary tools, parts, and


    instructions.
    Keep only essential items and eliminate
    what is not required
    Prioritizing things per requirements and
    keeping them in easily-accessible places.
    Everything else is stored or discarded.
    Straightening or setting in
    order / stabilize (Seiton)
    There should be a place for everything
    and everything should be in its place.
    The place for each item should be clearly
    labelled or demarcated.
    Items should be arranged in a manner
    that promotes efficient work flow, with
    equipment used most often being the
    most easily accessible.
    shining or systematic cleaning
    (Seiso)
    Clean the workspace and all equipment,
    and keep it clean, tidy and organized.
    At the end of each shift, clean the work
    area and be sure everything is restored to
    its place.
    Maintaining cleanliness should be part of
    the daily work not an occasional activity
    initiated when things get too messy.
    Standardizing (Seiketsu)

    All work stations for a particular job


    should be identical.
    All employees doing the same job should
    be able to work in any station with the
    same tools that are in the same location
    in every station.
    Everyone should know exactly what his
    or her responsibilities are for adhering to
    the first 3 S's.
    Sustaining the discipline or self-
    discipline (Shitsuke)

    Maintain and review standards.


    Maintain focus on this new way and do
    not allow a gradual decline back to the
    old ways.
    While thinking about the new way, also be
    thinking about yet better ways.
    BENEFITS OF 5S
    improves organizational efficiency
    reduces waste in all forms
    cuts down employee frustration when
    "the system doesnt work"
    improves speed and quality of work
    performance
    improves safety
    creates a visually attractive environment
    OBJECTIVES OF 5S
    Productivity
    Safety
    Reduced Waste
    Worker Commitment
    CONCLUSION
    The 5-S practice is a well-recognised
    methodology used by the Japanese for
    improving the work environment.
    It was found to be key to quality and
    productivity.
    The 5-S practice helps everyone in the
    organisation to live a better life.
