5S good housekeeping and workplace organization is a set of basic management principles that are widely adopted in industries today. The cornerstone of 5S is that untidy, cluttered work areas are unproductive. 5S is a powerful improvement process that gets impressive results. In a nutshell, the five principles or pillars are defined as Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. Because these words begin with S, they are commonly referred to as 5S.
5S can be applied to make your workplace cleaner and safer and your job simpler and more satisfying. It is about how to create a workplace that is clearly organized, free of clutter, arranged so you can easily find things, and sparkling clean—a place where anyone would be proud to work. In addition, 5S principles form the core elements of Lean thinking and a visual workplace and are a fundamental platform for world-class manufacturing.
The 5S Implementation Guidebook explains the 5S concept in a simplified, step-by-step format so as to serve as a quick 5S implementation reference.
This guidebook provides you with practical guidelines on how to implement 5S in your organization. Following a Plan-Do-Check-Act approach, the guide includes key steps such as setting up a 5S steering committee, defining a 5S implementation plan, developing a communications campaign, training and education, selecting model areas, company-wide rollout, conducting 5S audits, and management review and improvement. It also provides guidelines for red-tagging and techniques and tools for sustaining 5S.
This guidebook offers you detailed information on how your organization could integrate each 'S' into your work processes and systems so as to build a culture of continuous improvement.
