1. SORT
This means distinguishing or sort out
between wanted (Value Added) and
unwanted (Non Value Added) items at
place of work and removal of unwanted
(NVA) items.

2. Set in Order
Arranging and labeling items in such
a manner that they are easy to find
and use.

3. Shine
This means removing dirt, strain, filth, soot and
dust from the work area. This includes cleaning
and care for equipment and facilities and also
inspecting them for abnormalities. In a way it
also includes primary maintenance
of equipment.

4. Standardize
This call for systematizing the above 4S practices. This means
ensuring that whatever cleanliness and orderliness is achieved
should be maintained. This should develop a work structure that
will support the new practices and turn them into habits. The
purpose of standardization is to make sure that everyone in the
company follows the same procedure, the same names of items,
the same size of signalization/floor marking, shapes, colours, etc.
Standardize also helps to do the right thing the right way every
time.

5. Sustain or Self Discipline:

financial, emotional, occupational, psychological,
educational, or other types or consequences of
failure, damage, error, accident, harm, or any other

7. Spirit
Team spirit is a willingness to cooperate as part of a
team. It is also the reliance on the people factor.
Team spirit encourages and motivates the team
members to work in better way. So, it increases the
efficiency of the production operations or process.

Benefits of implementing 7S
• Workplace becomes cleaner, safer, well-
organized and more pleasant;
• Floor space utilization is improved;
• Workflow becomes smoother and more
systematic and non-value added
activities are reduced;
• Time for searching tools, materials and
document is minimized;

Benefits of implementing 7S
• Machine breakdowns are reduced since
clean and well-maintained equipment
breaks down less frequently.
• It also becomes easier to diagnose and
repair before breakdowns occur, therefore
extending equipment life;
• Errors are minimized leading to making
defect-free products;

Benefits of implementing 7S
• Consumables and material wastage
are minimized;
• Morale and satisfaction of employees
improve; and
• Productivity of the organization
improves together with the quality of
products and services.

Key Concept
The 7S is a simple yet useful way to create a
quality culture at the workplace.

GOOD MANUFACTURING
PRACTICES (GMP)

WHAT IS GMP?
GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices)
establishes the operational conditions and
requirements necessary to ensure hygiene
throughout the food chain and for the
production.

• GMP consists of guidelines that define management
and handling actions, with the purpose of ensuring
favorable conditions for the production of safe food.
They are also useful for the design and operation of
establishments and for the development of processes
and products related to food.
• GMPs examine and cover every aspect of the manufacturing
process to guard against any risks that can be catastrophic
for products, such as cross-contamination, adulteration, and
mislabeling.

GMP Guidelines and Regulation
Address
• Environmental control (premises)
• Personnel practices
• Shipping, receiving, handling, storage
• Pest control
• Sanitation
• Equipment maintenance
• Recall and traceability
• Water safety

5 P's Good
Manufacturing
Practices

What's about 5 Main Components of
GMP
It is paramount to the manufacturing industry to
regulate GMP in the workplace to ensure
consistent quality and safety of products. Focusing
on the following 5 P’s of GMP helps comply with
strict standards throughout the entire production
process.

PEOPLE
All employees are expected to strictly adhere
to manufacturing processes and regulations.
A current GMP training must be undertaken
by all employees to fully understand their
roles and responsibilities.

PRODUCTS
All products must undergo constant
testing, comparison, and quality
assurance before distributing to
consumers.

PROCESSES
Processes should be properly documented,
clear, consistent, and distributed to all
employees. Regular evaluation should be
conducted to ensure all employees are
complying with the current processes and are
meeting the required standards of the
organization.

PROCEDURES
A procedure is a set of guidelines for
undertaking a critical process or part of a
process to achieve a consistent result. It
must be laid out to all employees and
followed consistently.

PREMISES
All equipment should be placed or stored
properly and calibrated regularly to ensure
they are fit for the purpose of producing
consistent results to prevent the risk of
equipment failure.
