Lean 5S Principles for Production and Services: Sort (Seiri): The Sort principle focuses on decluttering the workspace by removing unnecessary items, creating an organized and efficient environment that reduces distractions and waste. Set in order (Seiton): In the Set in order phase, items are systematically organized, labeled, and stored, ensuring that employees can quickly locate and access the tools and materials needed for their tasks. Shine (Seiso): The Shine principle emphasizes the importance of maintaining a clean and well-kept workspace, which contributes to increased efficiency, safety, and early detection of potential issues. Standardize (Seiketsu): Standardization establishes consistent procedures and guidelines across the organization, promoting uniformity in task execution, improved quality, and simplified training processes. Sustain/Self-discipline (Shitsuke): The Sustain principle encourages a culture of self-discipline and continuous improvement, where employees actively maintain and enhance the established systems and processes. It is a common misconception that lean principles only apply to manufacturing. In reality, lean is relevant to every business and process. Lean is not just a tactic or cost-cutting measure; it represents a mindset and approach for an entire organization. Organizations across various industries and services, including healthcare and government, implement Lean principles in their operations. Many companies opt for their unique system labels, such as the Toyota Production System or the Danaher Business System, emphasizing that Lean is not a program or short-term cost reduction plan but the foundation of their operations. The term "transformation" or "lean transformation" is often used to describe a company's shift from traditional thinking to lean thinking, necessitating a comprehensive change in business practices and long-term commitment.
