To do this you may need to develop a policy or fix
some rules, i.e
Low priority items may be stored in a distant place.
High priority items may be kept in a designated area.
The team should agree the rules and must stick to
them.

Workplace organisation
to fix the layout of tools and equipment
everything should be readily available when needed.
Everything needed should be “easy to see, easy to

Useful check points for a organised workplace:
1. Are tools divided into “specialised use” and “regular use”
items?
2. Is the number of tools required kept to a minimum?
3. Are pallets, waste bins, hoses always placed in the correct
location?
4. Is anything stored around safety or fire fighting
equipment?
5. Are positions of main corridors and aisles clearly marked?
6. Can you immediately and safely find the items you need?

Shine
Cleaning sounds simple enough, but it involves
a host of activities:
removing from the workplace everything that should
not be there
maintaining everything (that should be there) in the
best possible condition by constant checking and
constant care
Ultimately then "cleaning is careful checking"

Shine - How to do it?
Dividing zones/dividing roles
Indicate the role each person is to play (area of
responsibility)
Responsibility maps and check lists are effective

Careful and systematic cleaning of particular areas
and equipment will help spot potential problems
Not simply wipe off dust - Cleaning is Inspection.

properly maintained.
make sure that clearing, organising and cleaning are
being maintained and incorporated into everyday
activities.
identify, eliminate or take preventive action to help
prevent 3S conditions to deteriorate.
A never-ending activity!

Standardising
People should have clear job assignments
based on their own workplaces.
A useful tool is the 5S Map:
it shows how the workplace is divided into sections
and lists names of the people responsible for
maintaining 5S conditions in those areas
it makes 5S job assignments visible at a glance.

maintaining correct procedures".
So what happens to 5S Programmes that do nod
keep discipline?

Lack of Discipline
1. The workplace would become dirty and
chaotic again.
2. Unneeded items would soon begin piling up.
3. People would neglect to wear their PPE and
eventually sustain an injury.
4. Equipment malfunction and defective
products
5. Customers would become disgusted by our
dirty and disorganised factory.
28. 28
Sustain - Important Hints
1. Total team involvement and focus on the
challenge is vital
2. Develop complete visual control to make
maintaining the standards as easy as possible
Remember it's about working smarter not
harder!
3. Use Fixed position photographs of before,
during and after to display your efforts.
4. Use specific audits to evaluate your 5S
effectiveness
