5S Is A Five Step Process
Sort - Get areas cleaned up. Get rid of unused materials and waste.
Separating - put things in order. Get organized. Materials and tools can then be found quickly and safely, and easily returned to their proper storage location.
Shine -keep work areas clean. If machines are clean, it is easier to spot lubricant leaks or other potential problems.
Standardize - Establish standards so that areas stay cleaned up, free of excess materials and tools, and organized.
Sustain - Establish procedures to prevent backsliding.
5S is not complex, difficult or expensive to implement. It provides a structure and method that utilizes a lot of common sense. |
