This document discusses the 5S methodology, which is a method for organizing and standardizing a workplace. It consists of five steps: Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. The document provides details on how to implement each step, such as removing unneeded items, labeling storage areas, cleaning regularly, creating standards and checklists, and sustaining the system through ongoing audits. It also discusses benefits like improved safety, efficiency and productivity. Examples are given of applying 5S principles in construction activities like organizing tools and materials and cleaning the work site.

3. What is 5S?
• A method to improve and sustain workplace organization.
• One of the basic stones for successful lean transformation.
• It applies to every industry and every job function.
HSE
A clean and ergonomically organized
workplace is more healthier and much
safer for employees and visitors
Image
It makes the place organized and always
ready for client or executives visits
Time
It saves precious time looking for
material, tools, equipment or information
and increases overall efficiency
Pride
It makes employees proud of their
workplace and willing to show it to
others

5. Sort
Clearly distinguish what is needed, what should be kept and what should be thrown out.
“When in doubt, move it out”
Define a “Red Tag Team” and a leader and train them on 5S
Red Tags
Seperate the unneeded items from the needed ones
Attach a red tag to the uneeded items
Move them to a temporary holding area
Set the time to hold in temporary area
Review the items after the defined time
Give away, sell or throw the remaining items
Red Tag Temporary Holding Areas

How often is it used? What to do with it?
Never Give, sell or throw away
Once or twice a year Store in a distant place
Once a month Store near your work area
Once a week Store near the the workstation
Once a day or more Keep near you or your workstation
To help ensure that materials and equipment are easy to find and not in the way and
stocks are easy to monitor.

7. Set in Order
Organize the necessary things making it easier for anynone to find and use them.
Organize what’s left after sorting.
Physically reconfigure the area.
Make it visual and self explanatory.
Make everything easy to find and return.
Build racks, shelves or shadow boards.
Label and mark locations of movable items.
Color-code items based on location or use.
Try new ideas and be creative.

8. Set in Order
BEFORE 5S AFTER 5S
What was removed?

9. Shine
Clean equipment and workplace regularly. Paint them as needed and inspect them while cleaning.
Detecting and removing
sources of danger such as
liquid spills, tripping
hazards, and biological
infections.
Quality Inspection
Helps in checking for non
standard conditions such
as leaks, cracks and wear.
Reputation
Customers will trust people
who keep thier workplace
clean and organized more
than those who don’t.
Improves Moral
Team members become
happier in a clean workplace
and closer to managment
when managers are
involved in 5S.

10. Shine
BEFORE 5S AFTER 5S

11. Shine
•This step is designed to ensure that there are fewer hazards; access and emergency
evacuation is easier; the site is a more attractive place in which to work. There are
improvements to the way the work gets done – increasing both effectiveness and efficiency.
•Cleaning time should be used to inspect and do maintenance on equipment, checking for
leaks or spills.
• Create cleaning checklist that can be initialed when it is performed.
• Clean workspaces promote better health and safety.
• Workspace should always be kept ready for working.

12. Standardize
Develop standards for sorting, setting in order and shining. Enforce them and follow
up.
What should be done and why?
When should it be done and how often?
How should it be done and who should do it?
Colors, fonts, sizes, shapes, templates, etc.
Material, brand, model, etc.
Develop checklists, procedures and processes.
Find the best practice and make it a standard.
Remember; the first idea may not be the best one.
Try, experiment, explore and innovate.

•This step is designed to develop standard operating procedures.
• Set standards for work areas across the company.
•Create procedures and schedules to promote consistency in performing the first 3 steps -Sort,
Set in Order, Shine.
• Every worker should know what tasks s/he is responsible for and what S looks like.
• Set goals and expectations for compliance.

14. Sustain
You Can’t Manage What
You Can’t Measure
Make it a daily habit and a way of life through discipline, auditing and recognition.
“Motivation is what gets you started, habit is what keeps you going”
How is sustain provide?
Focus on the important goals only. Not all goals are as important.
Establish lead measures that you can act on to achieve the goals. Have
people develop their own lead measures to create accountability.
Simplify or automate the measurement and data collection process.
Show the measures and the progress publicly and present them visually.
Tools for sustaining: for Begin

15. Sustain
Everyone is Accountable
Tools for sustaining: Zone Charting
Divide the shop floor or office to areas and assign people to them.
Clearly show photos of assigned people in the area.
Members should audit their areas regularly and allow others to do so.
Managers should plan to visit different areas randomly and give feedback.
Don’t take disciplinary actions for bad scores, but reward good ones.
Show photos of good work publicly in displays or meetings.

16. Sustain
Tools for sustaining: Recognition
Reward teams for small and continuous improvements.
Simple and continuous recognitions can boost motivation.
Supporting new ideas and allowing trial and error is a form of recognition.
You don’t have to spend money. An applause or a thank you note will do. Supporting new
ideas and allowing trial and error is a form of recognition Encourage friendly competition
and fun challenges.
Educate employees in new skills and provide necessary resources.

17. Sustain
Tools for sustaining: Visual Displays
Show progress visually. It can be manual or digital.
Spend more time analyzing and planning for improvements than collecting
data. A simple whiteboard and a marker can be used daily.
The team should put what really matters to them.
Discuss accountabilities in short quick, routine meetings next to the display.

Consistently review progress using different audit tools.
Preform 5S self assessments and audits at least weekly by different people.
Auditing should be an opportunity to discuss barriers to improvement.
Encourage knowledge sharing and cooperation between teams.
Visually present audit results and post them in the Primary Visual Display

Tips for successful implementation: Take photos
Tips for successful implementation: Leverage teamwork implementation

20. Implementing 5S Methodology
 Take photos of the pilot area before 5S implementation and after, for
comparison.
 Collect data to measure performance improvement after 5S - output per man
hour, number of defects and rework, delivery performance, etc.
 Discuss what improvements can still be made to the process.
 Standardize operations by creating instructions, checklists, and schedules.
 Use the “before” and “after” pictures, plus data about performance improvement
and other measures to put together a storyboard to present
to management and future 5S teams.
 Choose other areas to begin implementation, and create rewards for
improvement and compliance.

21. Benefits of 5S Methodology
 Improved health and safety.
 Reduced waste.
 Increased efficiency, productivity, and profitability.
 Saves space and time.
 Workers gain a sense of ownership and responsibility over their work stations.
 Easier to focus, fewer distractions.
