The 5 S’s: Visual Workplace

1. Sort – Sort through items, keep only what is needed while disposing of what is not.

2. Straighten (orderliness) – “A place for everything and everything in its place.”

3. Shine (cleanliness) – The cleaning process often acts as a form of inspection that exposes abnormal conditions.

4. Standardize – Develop systems and procedures to maintain and monitor the first three S’s.

5. Sustain (self-discipline) – Maintaining a stabilized workplace in an ongoing process of continuous improvement.

Why Standardize & Make Visual

Why do we standardize ?

- Defines a place for everything

- Establishes a baseline for continuous improvement

Why do we make things visual ?

- Promotes adherence to standards

- Abnormalities become obvious

- Everybody can be inspectors!

Discipline In Process

Processes require ongoing inspection and follow-up to ensure "Standardized Work" is sustained.
