5S is a tool to create a clean, tidy, and well-organized workplace. It involves 5 phases: Sort, Set In Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. The goal is to establish visual standards and work procedures to reduce waste and mistakes and continuously improve the workplace.
5S is a method for organizing a workplace to improve efficiency and safety. It involves sorting through items to remove anything unnecessary, setting remaining items in a logical order so they can be easily found, shining or cleaning the workspace on a regular basis, standardizing processes to maintain the first three S's, and sustaining these practices over time through visual management and team involvement. The goal of 5S is to establish a clean, orderly work environment through a systematic process.

The document discusses implementing workplace organization strategies like 5S and visual management systems in a laboratory sample analysis environment. It describes common problems like searching for samples, waiting for batches to accumulate, and incorrectly filled out forms. The changes being implemented include using barcoded trays and a new LIMS system to better track and locate samples electronically, consolidating drop-off sites, and creating standard work procedures. This is aimed at improving efficiency and reducing waste like searching time.
5S is a philosophy for organizing and managing the workspace and workflow to improve efficiency by eliminating waste. It consists of five Japanese words: Seiri (Sort), Seiton (Systematic Arrangement), Seiso (Shine), Seiketsu (Standardize), and Shitsuke (Sustain). The methodology was developed in Japan after WWII and aims to establish orderliness and cleanliness in the workplace. It provides a visual management system involving labels, colors and signs to create and maintain safe and efficient work environments through standardized processes.
The document discusses the 5S methodology for organizing and cleaning the workplace. The 5S philosophy includes 5 steps: Sort, Set In Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. Sort focuses on removing unnecessary items. Set In Order establishes efficient storage methods. Shine involves thoroughly cleaning the workspace. Standardize develops best practices. Sustain creates methods for maintaining the standards. Implementing 5S helps achieve goals like safety, quality, efficiency, and information flow through an organized, clean workspace.
This document provides information on implementing the 5S methodology for workplace organization and cleanliness. It describes each of the 5S steps: 1) Sorting, 2) Systematic Arrangement, 3) Shining or Cleaning, 4) Standardization, and 5) Sustaining Discipline. For each S, it outlines objectives, benefits, implementation methods, examples, and what to look for to ensure proper implementation. The overall goal of 5S is to achieve higher productivity, quality and safety through an organized, standardized and clean work environment.
This document provides training on the 5S methodology for workplace organization and continuous improvement. The 5S method consists of 5 Japanese terms: Sort, Set In Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. The training objectives are to define and implement 5S, improve quality and efficiency, and overcome productivity barriers. Each step of 5S is then described in detail, including sorting to remove unnecessary items, cleaning and inspecting, establishing visual storage locations, standardizing processes, and sustaining the 5S system through ongoing discipline. Examples of applying 5S in various environments are shown. Benefits include increased space, productivity, safety and employee well-being. The 5S implementation process and next steps are also outlined.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

3. Goals of the Kaizen Event
• Remove items from the hallway
• Reduce unnecessary supplies
• Reduce the storage footprint
• Create logical system of storage that anyone can
understand
• Bring ownership to the OR staff
4. Ground Rules of the
Kaizen Event
• Start and end breaks on time
• Everyone’s opinion counts
• Speak up with ideas, thoughts, and comments
• One operating room must always be available
6. 5S Definition
Simple but highly effective set of techniques
that remove waste from your work
environment through:
▫ Better workplace
organization
▫ Visual communication
and management
▫ Standardization
▫ General cleanliness
7. Definition of Each S
•
•
•
•
•
Sort
o Organization: distinguish between what is necessary and what less
essential, removing unnecessary items or tools from the workplace.
Straighten
o Neatness: item are put where they best meet their functional
purposes. There is a place for everything and everything is in its place.
Shine
o Cleanliness: inspection for and elimination of waste, dirt, and
damage.
Standardize
o Uniformity: maintain known and agreed upon conditions. Apply
methods consistently and revisit them frequently.
Sustain
o Discipline: practice the habit of doing what is required. Maintain and
continually improve on 5S practices.
9. What Can 5S Do For the
Alleghany Hospital OR?
• Eliminates the need to search for items
• Better defined flow of materials and information
• Modifies the appearance of the
workplace, conveying a more professional image
• Persistent and continuous productivity
improvements
• Reduces clutter, waste and the probability of errors
• Reduced turnaround time
• Increases worker’s morale and pride
• A safer and healthier OR!
11. #1: SORT: “Do I really need
this [many] here?”
• Keep only what is necessary in the work
area.
• Needed items are sorted by frequency of
use.
o Store often used items an easily accessible area close to
the point of use
o store infrequently used items away from the work area
• Proper quantities must be determined.
• Elimination of unnecessary items
12. SORT Eliminates Clutter!!!
• Accumulation of unnecessary items often
go unnoticed and this results in clutter.
• This clutter creates an obstacle course to
get needed items.
• Valuable floor space disappears because of
clutter.
• Clutter hides problems such as missing
items, defective equipment, outdated
medications and supplies.
13. SORT Strategies: Red Tagging
• Identifying and visually labeling unnecessary items
for disposal
• Allows everybody to approve the move, the
removal, and the categorization of items.
• Includes information such as, department, date
tagged, the name of the person tagging,
disposition, the asset code, and serial number (for
accounting purposes).
16. SORT Strategies:
Differentiating Unneeded Items
• Removing unnecessary items:
o Differentiating between waste, donations, items to move to
other locations in the hospital or to the warehouse
20. SORT Example:
Elimination of Clutter
Some cabinets may be full of extraneous items
The cabinets are emptied!
All of these can be removed
Before
After
21. SORT Example:
Checking the System
• Employee looks up the usage of items in the
system:
o He finds multiple items that aren’t used, or expired, throwing
away or relocating them
24. SORT Reminder
• The goal of SORT is not to throw away things,
but to remove unnecessary items from the
work area.
• Also consider:
o Donating
o Moving to other departments
o Warehouse for future usage
25. #2: STRAIGHTEN:
A Place for Everything
• STOP: Do not proceed to this step unless SORT has
been completed.
• “A place for everything, and everything in its
place.”
• Ultimate objective: Even someone not familiar with
the area should be able to easily find, use and
return something.
26. STRAIGHTEN Strategies
• Based on visual management
o
o
o
o
o
Labeling
Signals
Color coding
Shadow boxes
Discipline squares
• Distribution of items by location
o
o
o
o
Arrange by frequency of use
Group like items together
Group items together that are used together
Arrange in natural order
27. STRAIGHTEN Strategies:
Visual Management
• Visual Indicators
o
o
o
o
Outlining /Foot-Printing
Borders
Home and Return Addresses
Patient Record Stickers
• Visual Signals
o Nurse call lights
o Color Coding
• Visual Controls
o Exact Bin Sizes
• Visual Guarantees
o Quick-connect fittings for different gases eliminating the possibility
of using the wrong gas.
30. STRAIGHTEN Strategies:
Kanban
• Kanban – Sign board
o Essentially, the card is sent to the supplier when the item has
reached its minimum. The card is sent back from the supplier when
the order is filled.
o There is a buffer supply to account for the time it takes for the
supplier to fulfill the order.
• Signals that an item requires replenishing.
• Can be a simple card, or any time of signal
• May include:
o
o
o
o
o
Item Name
Part Number
When and how many are needed
Where the item is to be delivered
Contact name and phone number
31. STRAIGHTEN Strategies:
Two-Bin System
• Use two bins for supplies. When one bin is finished, it
gets moved to a designated are so the storeroom
clerk can order more.
• The second bin is used as the buffer.
Before
After
32. Start picking from the left bin
Implementation of
the Two-Bin System
Once you run out of items
from the left side, pick from
the buffer
Now it’s time to order more
and replenish!
36. STRAIGHTEN Strategies:
Item Put together by Functionality
This cabinet has a few random items
Idea: adapt it to hold the biggest
possible amount of related items
After

After
Before
Items that go together
are kept in the same
cabinet
Items were moved to different
cabinets
41. STRAIGHTEN Example:
Better Organization of Cabinets
Before
After
Expired Items removed
Items relocated to other cabinets
All Pacemakers put together
Special Procedure Items placed near each other
General Supplies brought from other cabinets
42. STRAIGHTEN Example:
Better Organization of Drawers
Before
After
Not functional Items disposed
Items brought from cabinets
Surgical Tools organized in one drawer
Special Procedure Items organized in other drawer
Special Procedure Items brought from cabinets
Blood Pressure Items moved to other drawers
43. STRAIGHTEN Example:

?
Before
How can we know where the items are supposed to be kept
within a cabinet
When should the items be replenished
Are there minimum and maximum levels
45. STRAIGHTEN Example:
Using Labels, Pictures and Checklists
After
Image and text indicating
how the cabinet should be set
for optimal usage
An erasable checklist works as
a trigger for replenishment
Picture for best layout
Minimum and maximum
levels for each item
Labels below each item
47. #3: SHINE: “Like New!”
• The workplace should be clean and
bright, a place where people enjoy working.
• If you can’t get something clean, then paint
it, replace it, or cover it.
• Morale booster!!
48. SHINE Strategies
• Clean equipment and work surfaces
thoroughly
• Inspect for hidden damage and deterioration
• Make everything “like new”
• Find ways to prevent things from getting dirty.
o e.g. Plexiglass shield.
• Have proper cleaning tools and supplies
• Have assignments, checklists, schedules, and
maps
51. #4: STANDARDIZE:
Constant Application
• Helps maintain the gains achieved by the first three
S’s.
• Develop a set of best practices and make sure
everyone knows and agrees with them.
• This phase involves communication and training.
o People must be instructed to take only from the non-buffer
bins.
o Nurses must separate the empty bins and the clerk should
know to send in an order when the empty bin is pulled.
• Everyone is accountable.
52. STANDARDIZE Strategies
• Prevention
• Code of Conduct
o Every job has duties that use SORT, STRAIGHTEN, and SHINE
o Common duties to keep common areas in shape e.g.,
break room
• Best Methods
o Weekly 5S departmental tours
•
•
•
•
Estimate Time
Training
Analysis: Ask “Why Not?”
Checklists/Audits
53. #5: SUSTAIN:
Continuous Improvement
• Developing new habits
• An ongoing phase to ensure everything is
maintained in order and up-to-date
• Also responsibility of management – set an
example
• Without this discipline, all the previous S’s
work will be lost
o It may be very easy to slip back into old habits.
54. SUSTAIN Strategies
• Know what motivates you to do 5S
o Individual and MRH Benefits
• Create a sustainability plan to remind you
o Communication of 5S Kaizen event
benefits
o Individual motivators
o Visual cues will help as well
• Implement the Plan on an Ongoing Basis
55. SUSTAIN Strategies: Identifying
Issues and Future Improvements
• Conducting audits of the room daily for the next few
weeks to help sustain improvements.
