Sort (Seiri)

The first S focuses on eliminating unnecessary items from the workplace. An effective visual method to identify these unneeded items is called red tagging. A red tag is placed on all items not required to complete your job. These items are then moved to a central holding area. This process is for evaluation of the red tag items. Occasionally used items are moved to a more organized storage location outside of the work area while unneeded items are discarded.

If

you dont use it . Move it! Sorting frees up valuable floor space The Sort process also helps prevent the hoarder job mentality (I might need it). A place for everything & everything in its place

Systematize (Seiton)
The

second S focuses on efficient and effective storage methods.

Start

small and easy, proceed slowly but steadily. IF YOU MAKE HASTE, IT IS EASY TO FAIL. For big organizations, start with pilot area. Trial practice at model area and model machine Start with the most suitable S. For messy workplace, start from first S- SEIRI. Only 1 or 2Ss are enough for the initial practice, not all 5Ss. First 3ss (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso) are action words. 4th S- Seiketsu is a CONDITION 5th S- Shitsuke is accordingly CULTURE

Everyones participation

is IMPORTANT. Two heads are better than one. Four eyes see more than two. Encourage participation first by EDUCATION then by DEMONSTRATION, later through ACTUAL practice, and of course RECOGNITION Management should take leadership of 5S movement. Lead by example Record improvements for comparison

Three kinds of workplace


A 3rd class workplace: has people who make a mess and no one cleans up. A 2nd class workplace: has people who make a mess and another group of people clean up. A 1st class workplace: has people who dont make a mess and yet everyone cleans up. Which class does your workplace belong to?
