The document outlines the implementation of a 5S sanitation program aimed at improving workplace efficiency and safety through organization. It details the five principles—Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain—and emphasizes the use of color-coded tools for better tracking and contamination prevention in food production. The document also highlights the importance of visual communication and customization in maintaining 5S standards and outlines corrective actions for non-compliance with these practices.

Sanitation Program Enhancements
(5S system and color coded cleaning tools
overview)

2. 5S SYSTEM OVERVIEW
ORIGEN -
Its early beginning can be traced to management methods developed and applied
during the American Industrial Revolution. Many early methods were later
improved upon in Japan during post WWII reconstruction.
WHAT IS IT? -
5S system is one of a number of Lean Manufacturing tools designed to help improve workplace efficiency through facility organization.
5S TERMS TRANSLATED
JAPANESE TERMS TRANSLATION 5S TERMS DEFINITIONS
Seiri Tidiness Sort Clean up, and identify needs for the immediate
work space
Seiton Orderliness Set in Order Organize items, designate storage locations, and
define procedures for use.
Seiso Cleanliness Shine Clean and maintain the area’s appearance and
establish preventative maintenance
Seiketsu Standardization Standardize Set roles and responsibilities to ensure efficient
process improvement
shitsuke Discipline sustain Maintain and reinforce involvement in achieving
goals

3. HOW THE 5S SYSTEM WORK?
The 6th S
☑ SAFETY - Safety is often referred to as the 6th ‘S’
because it is a primary concern in the workplace.
FiveS activities incorporate safety by identifying and
eliminating hazards for a zero-accidents, injury-free
work environment
HOW DOES IT WORK 5 Steps engages people
through the use of 'Standards' and ‘Discipline'. It is not
just about housekeeping, but concentrating on
maintaining the standards & discipline to manage the
organization - all achieved by upholding & showing
respect for the workplace every day.

4. WHERE SHOULD WE IMPLEMENT THE 5 STEPS FOR SUCCESS?
EVERYWHERE; 5s begins with the creation of an internal committee team.
Individuals with strong leadership skills should be considered as top
candidates for this team.
☑ BETTER DATA COLLECTION
BENEFITS
☑ PROPER STORAGE/SEGREGATION
☑ IMPROVE WORKPLACE APPARIENCE
☑ ENHANSE SAFETY & DECREASE INJURES

ACCOUNTABILITY
Having a place for
everything allows
easier tracking of
items on the
production floor
making them
traceable to where
they should be
WHY 5S FOR FOOD PRODUCTION.

AUDIT READY
5S helps you stay audit
ready, knowing
everything is in its place
at all times. In addition,
auditors and clients will
see immediately that you
are going above and
beyond in your food
safety efforts
1
HACCP
5S benefits your
HACCP program by
supporting the
segregation of your
color Code System
and helping control
high risk items.
2
FOREIGN OBJECT RISK
5S can greatly reduce the
risks of foreign particle
contamination caused by
tools, defective
equipment, or other items
used in and around
production by ensuring
they are in place and not
at risk of getting into the
product.
4
EFFICIENCY & WASTE
REDUCTION
5S will make waste more
obvious giving you the
opportunity to become
more efficient. Change-
over times will improve
and you will spend less
time training staff.
