Waste elimination is one of the most effective ways to increase the efficiency
and profitability of any organization. Processes either add value or waste to the
production of a good or service. The concept of the seven wastes originated in
Japan, where waste is known as “muda."

C O N S U L T I N G
The 7 Wastes – Waiting
Waiting
Typically more than 99% of a product's life in traditional batch-and-queue
manufacture will be spent waiting to be processed. Much of a product’s lead
time is tied up in waiting for the next operation; this is usually because material
flow is poor, production runs are too long, and distances between work centers
are too great.
Goldratt (Theory of Constraints) has stated many times that one hour lost in a
bottleneck process is one hour lost to the entire factory’s output, which can
never be recovered. Linking processes together so that one feeds directly into
the next can dramatically reduce waiting.
6. 6 April 9, 2016 – v 4.0 OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
C O N S U L T I N G
The 7 Wastes – Inventory
Inventory
Work in Progress (WIP) is a direct result of over-production and waiting.
Excess inventory tends to hide problems on the plant floor, which must be
identified and resolved in order to improve operating performance.
Excess inventory consumes productive floor space, delays the identification
of problems, and inhibits communication. By achieving a seamless flow
between work centers, many manufacturers have been able to improve
Customer service and slash inventories and their associated costs.
7. 7 April 9, 2016 – v 4.0 OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
C O N S U L T I N G
The 7 Wastes – Motion
Motion
This waste is related to ergonomics and is seen in all instances of bending,
stretching, walking, lifting, and reaching. These are also health and safety
issues, which in today’s litigious society are becoming more of a problem for
organizations. Jobs with excessive motion should be analyzed and
redesigned for improvement with the involvement of plant personnel.
8. 8 April 9, 2016 – v 4.0 OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
C O N S U L T I N G
The 7 Wastes – Over-Processing
Extra Processing Steps
Many organizations use expensive high precision equipment where simpler
tools would be sufficient. This often results in poor plant layout because
preceding or subsequent operations are located far apart. In addition they
encourage high asset utilization (over-production with minimal changeovers) in
order to recover the high cost of this equipment.
Toyota is famous for their use of low-cost automation, combined with
immaculately maintained, often older machines. Investing in smaller, more
flexible equipment where possible; creating manufacturing cells; and combining
steps will greatly reduce the waste of inappropriate processing.
9. 9 April 9, 2016 – v 4.0 OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
C O N S U L T I N G
The 7 Wastes – Transportation
Transportation
Transporting product between processes is a cost incursion which adds no
value to the product. Excessive movement and handling cause damage and
are an opportunity for quality to deteriorate. Material handlers must be used
to transport the materials, resulting in another organizational cost that adds
no Customer value.
Transportation can be difficult to reduce due to the perceived costs of
moving equipment and processes closer together. Furthermore, it is often
hard to determine which processes should be next to each other. Mapping
product flows can make this easier to visualize.
10. 10 April 9, 2016 – v 4.0 OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
C O N S U L T I N G
The 7 Wastes – Over-Production
Over-Production
Simply put, over-production is to manufacture an item before it is actually
required. Over-production is highly costly to a manufacturing plant because it
prohibits the smooth flow of materials and actually degrades quality and
productivity. Over-production manufacturing is referred to as “Just in Case.”
This results in high storage costs and makes it difficult to detect defects in a
timely manner. The simple solution to over-production is turning off the tap; this
requires a lot of courage because the problems that over-production is hiding
will be revealed. The concept is to schedule and produce only what can be
immediately sold/shipped and improve machine changeover/set-up capability.

C O N S U L T I N G
The 7 Wastes – Defects
Defects
Having a direct impact to the bottom line, quality defects resulting in rework
or scrap are a tremendous cost to organizations. Associated costs include
quarantining inventory, re-inspecting, rescheduling, and capacity loss.
In many organizations the total cost of defects is often a significant
percentage of total manufacturing cost. Through employee involvement and
Continuous Process Improvement (CPI), there is a huge opportunity to
reduce defects at many facilities.

The 7 Wastes – Summary
In the latest edition of the Lean Manufacturing
classic Lean Thinking, Under-Utilization of
Employees has been added as an eighth waste.
Organizations employ their staff for their nimble
fingers and strong muscles but forget they come to
work everyday with a free brain. It is only by
capitalizing on employees' creativity that
organizations can eliminate the other seven
wastes and continuously improve their
performance.
Many changes over recent years have driven organizations to become world
class organizations or Lean Enterprises. The first step in achieving that goal is
to identify and attack the seven wastes. As Toyota and other world-class
organizations have come to realize, Customers will pay for value added
work, but never for waste.

1. “What’s so great about Organization (Sort) and Orderliness (Set-in-Order)?”
Response: The purpose of a 5S Visual Workplace initiative is to develop,
implement, and maintain an effective and efficient workplace.
2. “You want us, the Operations and Service Managers, to be 5S Leaders?”
Response: The development, implementation, and maintenance of an effective
and efficient workplace is a management responsibility. A 5S Visual
Workplace initiative requires leadership and leadership involvement.
3. “Why clean up when it will soon get dirty again?” Response: When management
and employees are indifferent to making and maintaining improvements, it is
no surprise that defect rate remains high and productivity low.
4. “Implementing Organization (Sort) and Orderliness (Set-in-Order) will not boost
output.” Response: Being busy does not mean being productive. Everyone
must learn the important difference between “moving” and “working”.
5. “Why concern ourselves with such trivial matter?” Response: Managers who fail
to promote an effective, efficient and safe workplace end up not only with a
sloppy and undisciplined work force, but also with higher costs and higher
defects.

19. 19 April 9, 2016 – v 4.0 OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
C O N S U L T I N G
6. “We already implemented them.” Response: Some managers believe that
rearranging things a little and putting them into neat rows is all there is to
it. Such orderliness only scratches the surface of what the 5S’s are all
about, as this training program will show.
7. “I know my filing system’s a mess, but I know my way around it.” Response:
The first step in standardizing clerical operations is to open up private
messes so that books, files, and paper work is easily accessible to anyone
who needs them when they need them.
8. “5S and improvement stuff is just for the factory.” Response: The purpose of
a 5S Visual Workplace initiative is to develop, implement, and maintain
effective and efficient work processes. This is and must be a companywide
initiative.
9. “We are too busy to spend time on Organization (Sort) and Orderliness (Set-in-
Order).” Response: “Are you also too busy to take a shower and brush
your teeth?”. Developing, implementing, and maintaining effective and
efficient work processes is not an option, it is a necessity in today's
competitive business environment.

5S Visual Workplace - Types of Resistance
10. “We did the 5S’s 10 years ago.” Response: “Has it also been 10 years
since you took a bath?” 5S Visual Workplace is not a project with a start
and end date, it is an integral part of any highly productive world-class
organization.
11. “Why should anyone tell me what to do?” Response: Most 5S initiatives
run into human-relation issues early on. It pays of form cross-functional
5S Promotion Teams with members skilled at applying the 5S’s to human
relations.
12. “We don’t need 5S. We are making money, so let us do our work
the way we want to.” Response: Operations has a rhythm, and this
rhythm gets upset when employees care only about their individual
tasks. By allowing employees to do things “their way”, we grant a selfish
kind of freedom that hurts everyone in the long-term.

Step 1. Establish a 5S Implementation Organization
The 5S Implementation Team handles such tasks as on-site 5S education,
“discipline” training, 5S standardization, guidance in 5S techniques, and
provision of 5S tools.
The 5S Leader(s) are Site Manager(s) and heads the 5S Implementation
Team.
The 5S Audit Team makes weekly inspection tours to check up on 5S
conditions and suggest & document remedial measures when conditions
have begun to deteriorate.
The 5S Action Team, which consists of workshop leaders and ordinary
employees, is responsible for the nuts and bolts of 5S implementation. The
team members study 5S theory while putting it into practice in making 5S-
oriented improvements.

Step 2.2 Establish a 5S Implementation Plan
The main purpose of a 5S Campaign is not so much to announce the
beginning of the 5S initiative as it is to show the enthusiasm and commitment
of 5S Leaders.
The 5S Leaders should address the organization’s current conditions, its
goals, and its plan to use the 5S Visual Workplace initiative to lay a
foundation for achieving those goals.
A 5S Implementation Plan should cover 90 days at a time.

Step 5.1 5S Implementation - SORT
SORT means clearly distinguishing between (1) what is needed and to be kept and (2) what is
unneeded and to be discarded.
SET-IN-ORDER means organizing the way needed things are kept so that anyone can find, use and
return them easily.
SHINE means thoroughly cleaning the work area and everything in it. The goal is (1) to turn the work
area into a clean, bright place where people enjoy working, (2) to review the first two Ss, and (3) to find
the source of dirt or litter and eliminate it. Shine should become so deeply ingrained as a daily work
habit that tools are always kept in top condition and are ready for use at any time.
STANDARDIZE means the development and implementation of a detailed plan to maintain SORT, SET-
IN-ORDER, and SHINE. The plan should include the creation of procedures and simple daily checklists
that are to be visibly posted in each work area; the checklist should serve as a visual to ensure that the
daily 5S requirements are being met. Standardized cleanup integrates sort, set in order, and shine into a
unified whole.

Step 5. Attach the Red Tags
– People from indirectly related organizations should come to the
workshop, listen to the description of current conditions, and be
objective in attaching red tags to all unneeded items.
• Look with a critical eye,
• Don’t let the workshop’s own workers decide where to stick the
red tags. They tend to think everything is necessary.
• Be merciless when attaching red tags!
• Set a target of at least 3-4 red tags per employee in the
organization
• If in doubt, red-tag it!
– Red-tagging should be done intensively over a short period of time.

Inventory
– Divide into two types: 1. “dead stock” and 2. “retained stock”
– Set the “need” period for service parts and keep them in the
warehouse for the appropriate need period.
– Make a list of all unneeded inventory (name, quantity, value) to
facilitate understanding and for use in accounting and create and
execute schedule to dispose “dead stock”.
Equipment
– Whatever gets in the way during improvement activities should either
be moved or disposed of.
– Follow companies procedure to dispose of unneeded equipment.
– If equipment in the way during improvement activities is an off-the-
book asset, simply get rid of it.

5S Visual Workplace Floor Marking Guidelines and Best Practices
Use as few colors as possible: This will make it easier for employees to remember the
intended meaning of each color and reduce the number of vinyl tape products kept in
inventory.
Identify specific colors with specific purposes: Some companies opt to mark equipment
locations using the same color for aisle ways and work cell boundaries. This choice adheres to
the principle of keeping the color code system as numbered as possible, but for some, it may
be more effective to use two different colors for two different work areas. When a plant
differentiates between colors when marking specific work areas, it creates a visually clear
environment that helps employees quickly correlate colors with purposes.
Raw Materials, WIP and finished goods: Try and use the same color for all material storage
areas, unless there is an important reason for differentiating between them. As an alternative,
use different colored labels to visually distinguish between the various material types.
Do more with less: Many companies use different colored stripes to border areas in front of
fire fighting equipment, safety equipment and electrical panels. Instead of having three different
floor tape products, choose one color for all applications where the intent is to keep the area
clear for safety or compliance reasons.

– Note: Be sure to put frequently used items as close as possible to the
operations for easy retrieval.
Step 2. Prepare Locations
– Organize shelving and cabinets in their specified places.
– Note: Use your ingenuity (e.g. make parts easier to remove from
shelves and cabinets or set up a first-in first-out FIFO stocking
system).
Step 3. Indicate Locations
– Make and post (or hang) signboards that clearly indicate where each
item belongs.
– Note: Use either a place name/diagram signboard or an address
signboard to indicate where things belong.

Step 5.4 5S Implementation - STANDARDIZE
SORT means clearly distinguishing between (1) what is needed and to be kept and (2) what is
unneeded and to be discarded.
SET-IN-ORDER means organizing the way needed things are kept so that anyone can find, use and
return them easily.
SHINE means thoroughly cleaning the work area and everything in it. The goal is (1) to turn the work
area into a clean, bright place where people enjoy working, (2) to review the first two Ss, and (3) to find
the source of dirt or litter and eliminate it. Shine should become so deeply ingrained as a daily work
habit that tools are always kept in top condition and are ready for use at any time.
STANDARDIZE means the development and implementation of a detailed plan to maintain SORT, SET-
IN-ORDER, and SHINE. The plan should include the creation of procedures and simple daily checklists
that are to be visibly posted in each work area; the checklist should serve as a visual to ensure that the
daily 5S requirements are being met. Standardized cleanup integrates sort, set in order, and shine into a
unified whole.

SUSTAIN means always following specified (and

discipline. Without discipline, it is impossible to
maintain consistent standards of quality, safety, clean
production, and process operation.
SAFETY Sometimes used as the 6th S. We believe
that Safety is a natural consequence of the successful
implementation of a 5S Visual Workplace initiative.

5S Area Evaluation & Scoring Guidelines
Score Sort Set-in-Order Shine Standardize Sustain Comments / Actions
5 Prevention
The culture of the area has all
employees engaged and on
constant vigilance keeping anything
un-necessary from remaining in the
work area.
A process is in place to introduce
new items or equipment to the work
area and to implement improvement
regularly in the layout of the work
area.
Employees participate in
preventative maintenance for all
area equipment.
Employees are adding
improvements on their own regularly
for 6S in the work area. Other work
areas seek the input of work area
employees to improve 6S in their
work areas.
Employees reflect a spirit of pride in
the work area and ownership to
keep it looking great. They do not
wait for supervisors or engineers to
discover equipment issues or leaks,
but proactively engage and even
demand fixes immediately and
participate in implementing those
solutions.
4
Consistent
Application
Standard Work is in place and
visual to prevent un-necessary
items from finding a way back to the
work area or for idenifying items that
become un-necessary over time.
Standard Work is in place to audit
an area to detemine if every item is
present and in its assigned location.
Work areas are cleaned each shift.
There is a checklist posted at each
work center of things to check for to
ensure the area is clean. The
working team regularly improves the
area beyond the current level of
acceptability by painting, taping, or
adding other visual improvements.
Employees participate in mitigating
issues and leaks in the work area.
The 6S method is documented and
posted in the work area. Photos are
posted of how the area should look
each day at the end of the shift. A
rotation has been established and is
posted involving all employees in
the work area in the weekly 6S
audit. The 6S audit results are
posted.
