What is 5S (Lean Manufacturing)?It is called 5S because it is made of words that all start with an and are used in a lean manufacturing environment.
SORT #1: It is your chance to get a trash can and load it up. All of the things not needed for the job are removed and only the
essentials are kept.
SET #2: This means you will need to find a place for all of the tools needed for the job. Some examples of ways to accomplish
this are through the use of a peg board or by using tape to outline where items should be. This ensures you have a place for them and people can notice when they are not there.
SHINE #3: What this entails is cleaning everything. Tools and the work stations are included in this step. Also, people should
be assigned the responsibility of keeping the area and the tools clean.
STANDARDIZE #4: It means to ensure the same process you laid out originally is done exactly the same with everyone. This
could mean new procedures, or periodic reviews of the area. But it needs to be kept up.
SUSTAIN #5: Perhaps the most difficult is to sustain the area. You have built a good amount of momentum right now, so
now is the best time to move to another area. Just be sure to hold the appointed people responsible for the cleanliness of the area accountable. This ensures you do not need to micro-manage the area and can focus on the next area.
5S is a very good tool in a lean manufacturing effort, and can be implemented in any part of a business. These simple steps can make a dramatic improvement in the cleanliness and efficiency of the area.
