This document discusses the 5S methodology for improving workplace organization. It explains that without clear organization rules, different teams or shifts will create their own systems leading to chaos. The 5S methodology identifies five phases to improve organization: sorting, straightening, shining, standardizing, and sustaining the new system. Examples show work areas before and after applying 5S principles. The document argues that implementing 5S rules can help a company reduce waste from issues like overproduction, waiting times, transport inefficiencies, and unnecessary inventory. With better organization, employees will be more efficient and productive.

DO WE ACCEPT THE CURRENT STATE HERE?

THE PROBLEM OF LACKING WORKPLACE ORGANIZATION
GROWS WITH THE GROWING NUMBER OF USERS (SHIFTS, TEAMS).
IF A WORKPLACE LACKS ORGANIZATION RULES, EVERY USER
CREATES HIS/HER OWN RULES, SO THAT
TEAM 1 – HAS ITS OWN RULES
TEAM 2 – HAS ITS OWN RULES
TEAM 3 – HAS ITS OWN RULES
TEAM 4 – HAS ITS OWN RULES
WHICH USUALLY LEADS TO
CHAOS AND DISORGANIZATION

5S - Office
Sometimes we come upon
an unwritten ‘rule’ that the Do I have easy access
cleaner the desk, the less to keyboard?
the desk owner does.
So ?????
How can I find
what I need?
And what do we
have here?

Can you focus
on your work in
such chaos?

If you are not sure whether you need 5S rules to improve the organization of
your surrounding workplace, do this simple test: open a document cabinet and
answer the two questions looking at the nearest pile of papers.
Question 1 : what does the
document right on top of the
pile refer to?
And question 2 : what does the
document at the bottom of the
pile refer to?
If you did not know the answer to at least one of the questions, you certainly
need 5S rules to organize your work in a better way

”If you manage to introduce 5S
rules, you will be able to do
anything. A company that handles
5S successfully will also cope with
other practices. A company that is not
able to introduce 5S rules, will be
unable to perform other tasks
required of a competitive company.”

16. 5S - WORKPLACE ORGANIZATION
We must be aware that the client is
willing to pay for value only
A company incurs waste-related costs,
becoming less competitive
5S PROGRAM WILL HELP YOU
REDUCE WASTE

17. 5S - WORKPLACE ORGANIZATION
We must focus on elimination of WASTE !
Types of waste:
q Overproduction
q Waiting time
q Transport
q Inventory
q Inadequate process
One of the primary
q Ergonomics causes of these types
of waste is the
q Quality absence of 5S rules

18. 5S - WORKPLACE ORGANIZATION
Overproduction
How many products
should there be and
where should they be
stored?

19. 5S - WORKPLACE ORGANIZATION
Transport
If transport over
considerable distances
is required, problems
with locating the goods
occur.

20. 5S - WORKPLACE ORGANIZATION
Transport
Toolroom
At work employees
often cover kilometers,
because certain tools
or materials are located
rather far from their
workplaces
