The document discusses the 5S methodology for improving workplace organization and productivity. 5S stands for Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. Each "S" represents an activity to clear out unneeded items, organize the workspace, clean the area, standardize processes, and sustain the 5S system through commitment. The goals are to eliminate waste, improve efficiency and safety, reduce costs, and create a foundation for quality. Implementing 5S is presented as an ongoing team-based process that establishes order and detects potential problems.

8. Sort
(The First Pillar)
This activity involves systematic sorting out,
labeling and removal of all items not needed in the
work area so that only the needed items remain.
Objective: Clutter reduction by clearly distinguishing
between what is needed and to be kept and
what is unneeded and to be discarded.
 Red Tagging
 Local storage area for a predetermined amount of time
 Central storage area for a predetermined amount of time
 Throw away

9. Set in Order
(The Second Pillar)
This activity involves developing a place for
everything and labeling it so that it can be found
quickly and put away when not in use.
Objective: To ensure everything has a place, and there is a place
for everything needed.
 Motion Economy
 Layout maps
 Sign boards
 Outlines
 Color Codes

10. Shine
(The Third Pillar)
This activity involves cleaning the work place. While
cleaning you observe for early signs of troubles on
the equipment before these turn into major
breakdowns or defects.
Objective: A clean work place where by using the senses you
detect possible problems before they happen.
 Area responsibility
 Designated time
 Using the five senses

11. Standardize
(The Fourth Pillar)
This activity involves making a standardized state
that exists when the first three pillars are properly
maintained.
Objective: Make sure that there is a standardized method to do the
first 3 pillars.
 Prevention
 Checklists
 5 Minute 5S

12. Standardize
(The Fourth Pillar)
This differs from the first three S’s because this
refers not to an activity but to Standardized means:
 Preventing conditions from reverting back to previous
undesirable conditions
 Continual removal of all items not needed in the work area
so that only the needed items remain
 Maintaining and putting everything in order
 Cleaning dirt, grime or debris constantly.

13. Sustain
(The Fifth Pillar)
This activity involves sustaining the 5S activities on
a continuous basis. After a year and more everyone
needs to still be doing 5S activities.
Objective: Make a commitment to the 5S process for now and the
future.
 Management commitment
 Employee commitment
 Continual evaluation
