5S Master Implementation Program (Document Bundle)
DESCRIPTION
5S: A Workplace Organization System
WHAT IS 5-S?
The 5-S, a Japanese concept, is a simple technique for creating & maintaining a neat & clean workplace. The purpose is to create a workplace that is suitable for all other initiatives like quality, safety, productivity and employee morale improvements. It consists of taking 5 steps with words beginning with the letter 'S' in the Japanese language. The Japanese words have been loosely translated into English words (again all of them starting with the letter S) for use by everyone across the world.
The 5-S appears to be an easy & simple concept. But easy things generally elude us. Because, everybody thinks that it is so easy & simple. And hence, nobody does it !!
That's why it requires a structured effort on the part of the management to ensure that everybody does it !! Its implementation requires:
• A strong commitment by the top management
• a disciplined approach all through the organisation
• everybody doing the same thing at the same time
• change in habits at all levels, and
• a lots of practice
This bundle of power point presentations, has been devised using a modular approach in the implementation of this concept, which ensures that all relevant activities of this Japanese concept are carried out in a structured & professional manner in order to achieve the required benefits.
The concept includes implementation of the following 5S's:
1. Seiri (Sort)
In 5-S terms, it means to distinguish between the necessary & the unnecessary, and to get rid of the unnecessary. The emphasis here is on stratification management & dealing with causes to get rid of the unnecessary and to nip the causes before they become problems.
2. Seiton (Set in Order)
In general usage as in 5-S usage, this means having things in the right places so that they can be used in a hurry. It is a way of eliminating searches. The emphasis here is on functional management and search elimination. Once everything has a right place so that it is functionally based for quality & safety, you have a neat workplace.
3. Seiso (Shine)
In general usage, this means cleaning so that the things are clean. In 5-S terms, it means getting rid of waste, grime and foreign matter and making things clean. Cleaning is a form of inspection. The emphasis here is on cleaning as inspection, on cleanliness, and on creating an impeccable workplace.
4. Seiketsu (Standardisation)
In 5-S terms, this means continually maintaining your organisation, neatness & cleaning (i.e. all the above 3 S's). The emphasis here is on visual management and 5-S standardisation. Innovation & total visual management are used to attain & maintain standardised conditions so that you can always act quickly.
5. Shitsuke (Sustain)
In 5-S terms, it means having the ability to do things the way they are supposed to be done. The emphasis here is on creating a workplace with habits & discipline. By teaching everyone what needs to be done and having everyone practice, bad habits are broken and good habits are formed. People start following the rules.
BENEFITS OF 5-S
The implementation of 5-S is the basis of all other quality & productivity initiatives of an organisation. A neat & clean workplace ensures the following benefits:
• Better use of floor space
• searching time is minimised
• machine troubles like leakages, cracks, etc. are detected early
• increases the life of tools & machines
• operations become safer and simpler
• higher employee involvement & morale
• fire fighting goes down
• better quality & productivity
• ground for continuous improvements
This bundle of PPT slides provides a comprehensive training to an organization that intends to implement 5S in its workplace. The contents of this bundle are suitable both for manufacturing as well as service organizations. Ample examples and engaging visuals are provided in the slides to make the subject clear, concise and interesting.
The first presentation titled 'Understanding 5S – A Workplace Organization System' provides an overview of the concept with a brief definition & explanation of each of the 5s S's as well as a step-by-step process to implement the concept.
