5S Events |
|
5S is an acronym for Sort, Set, Shine, Standardize and Sustain The Five S’s are some rules for workplace organization which aim to organize each worker’s work area for maximum efficiency. 1. Sort – Sort what is needed and what is not needed so that the things that are frequently needed are available nearby and as easy to find as possible. Things which are less often used or not needed should be relocated or discarded. 2. Straighten (or “Set in order”) – Arrange essential things in order for easy access. The objective is to minimize the amount of motion required in order for workers to do their jobs. For example, a tool box can be used by an operator or a maintenance staff who must use various tools. In the tool box, every tool is placed at a fixed spot that the user can quickly pick it up without spending time looking for it. This way of arrangement can also help the user be immediately aware of any missing tools. 3. Scrub (or “Shine”) – Keep machines and work areas clean so as to eliminate problems associated with un-cleanliness. In some industries, airborne dust is among the causes of poor product surface or color contamination. To be more aware of dust, some companies paint their working places in light colors and use a high level of lighting. 4. Stabilize (or “Standardize”) – Make the first 3 S’s a routine practice by implementing clear procedures for sorting, straightening and scrubbing. 5. Sustain – Promote, communicate and train in the 5 S’s to ensure that it is part of the company’s corporate culture. This might include assigning a team to be responsible for supervising compliance with the 5 S’s. . |
