The document discusses the 5S methodology for organizing and standardizing a workplace. The 5S's are: Sort, Sweep, Straighten, Schedule, and Sustain. Implementing 5S eliminates waste, creates a safer work environment, and improves quality, productivity and efficiency by removing unnecessary items, cleaning the workspace, properly labeling and organizing necessary tools and documents, maintaining schedules, and sustaining discipline through audits and training. Regular use of 5S builds organization and cleanliness into daily work processes.

2. Why Lean? The need for fast, flexible processes that give customers what they want, when they want it, at the highest quality and affordable cost. Eliminates waste that contributes to errors, defects and injuries in the workplace!

3. What are the 5-S’s??? 1) Sort * clear out rarely used items, by red tagging 2) Sweep * clean it 3) Straighten * organize and label ( a place for everything) 4) Schedule * Create rules to sustain the first 3S 5) Sustain * Use regular management audits to stay disciplined

4. 1) SORT Definition- To Sort out necessary and unnecessary items. To store often used items at the work area, infrequently used items away from the work area and dispose of items that are not needed. Why- Removes waste Safer work area Gains space Easier to visualize the process Things to remember- Start in one area, then sort through everything Discuss removal of items with all persons involved Items that cannot be removed immediately should be tagged

5. SORT CATEGORIZE NECESSARY ITEMS : RARELY USED OCCASIONALLY USED FREQUENTLY USED DIVIDE ITEMS INTO TWO CATEGORIES: BAD UNNECESSARY NECESSARY

6. 2)SWEEP Definition- To keep your area clean on a continuing basis. Why- To prevent the area from getting dirty in the first place, so we don’t have to clean it up afterward. A clean workplace is indicative of a quality product and process. Dust and dirt cause potential health hazards. Things to remember - Sweep / Vacuum Dust / Mop Polish / Paint
