5S is a methodology for organizing and standardizing the workplace. It consists of five steps: Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. The goals of 5S are to establish high levels of quality, safety, productivity, and a good working environment through eliminating waste and maintaining an organized workspace. Common problems in industry include disorganized workplaces where tools are unsorted and not properly stored, leading to wasted time and potential safety issues. Implementing 5S through sorting unneeded items, setting tools and supplies in designated places, shining or cleaning the workspace, standardizing processes, and sustaining the system provides advantages like increased efficiency, fewer accidents, smoother workflow, and easier location of necessary items.

1. 5 S
What is 5S and why do we want to do it?

2. 5S
What ?
These are foundational for continuous improvement and a
manufacturing strategy based "Lean Manufacturing" concepts.
Why ?
 high levels of quality
 Safety
 Productivity
 Good working environment

3. 5S Stands for
• Sort
• Set in Order
• Shine
• Standardize
