This document provides an overview of 5S and its implementation. It defines the 5S steps as Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. Each step is then described in 1-3 sentences. For example, Sort is defined as removing unnecessary items and arranging the remaining items by frequency of use. Standardize involves maintaining the first three S's and identifying ways to prevent deterioration. Sustain means making proper maintenance of procedures a habit. The document concludes by offering hints for starting a 5S program, including selecting a pilot area and establishing responsibilities.

Sort

Sort
 Sort out what is really necessary and eliminate
waste.
 Broken, useless and/or redundant kit needs to be
discarded.
 Remaining needed kits must be sorted and
arranged by frequency of use.

9. 9
Sort
 To do this you may need to develop a policy or fix
some rules, i.e
 Low priority items may be stored in a distant place.
 High priority items may be kept in a designated area.
 The team should agree the rules and must stick to
them.

Set

12. 12
Set
 Workplace organisation
 to fix the layout of tools and equipment
 everything should be readily available when needed.
 Everything needed should be “easy to see, easy to
retrieve, easy to use, easy to return”.

13. 13
Set
 Useful check points for a organised workplace:
 1. Are tools divided into “specialised use” and “regular use”
items?
 2. Is the number of tools required kept to a minimum?
 3. Are pallets, waste bins, hoses always placed in the correct
location?
 4. Is anything stored around safety or fire fighting
equipment?
 5. Are positions of main corridors and aisles clearly marked?
 6. Can you immediately and safely find the items you need?

Shine

16. 16
Shine
 Cleaning sounds simple enough, but it involves
a host of activities:
 removing from the workplace everything that should
not be there
 maintaining everything (that should be there) in the
best possible condition by constant checking and
constant care
 Ultimately then "cleaning is careful checking"

17. 17
Shine - How to do it?
 Dividing zones/dividing roles
 Indicate the role each person is to play (area of
responsibility)
 Responsibility maps and check lists are effective
 Implement cleaning by area/equipment
 Careful and systematic cleaning of particular areas
and equipment will help spot potential problems
 Not simply wipe off dust - Cleaning is Inspection.

18. 18
Shine - How to do it?
 Implementing improvements
 Speed up the cleaning process
 Make difficult/dirty places easier to reach and access.
 Eliminate sources of contamination.
 Defining rules for the team

19. 19
Shine - How to do it?
 Introduce a plant slogan
 “Take 5 minutes for 5S”
 “Take the time to make it shine!!”

Standardising

22. 22
Standardising
 The state that exists when the first 3 S's are
properly maintained.
 make sure that clearing, organising and cleaning are
being maintained and incorporated into everyday
activities.
 identify, eliminate or take preventive action to help
prevent 3S conditions to deteriorate.
 A never-ending activity!

23. 23
Standardising
 People should have clear job assignments
based on their own workplaces.
 A useful tool is the 5S Map:
 it shows how the workplace is divided into sections
and lists names of the people responsible for
maintaining 5S conditions in those areas
 it makes 5S job assignments visible at a glance.

Sustain

26. 26
Sustain
 Defined as "making a habit of properly
maintaining correct procedures".
 So what happens to 5S Programmes that do nod
keep discipline?

27. 27
Lack of Discipline
 1. The workplace would become dirty and
chaotic again.
 2. Unneeded items would soon begin piling up.
 3. People would neglect to wear their PPE and
eventually sustain an injury.
 4. Equipment malfunction and defective
products
 5. Customers would become disgusted by our
dirty and disorganised factory.

28. 28
Sustain - Important Hints
 1. Total team involvement and focus on the
challenge is vital
 2. Develop complete visual control to make
maintaining the standards as easy as possible
Remember it's about working smarter not
harder!
 3. Use Fixed position photographs of before,
during and after to display your efforts.
 4. Use specific audits to evaluate your 5S
effectiveness

 Document the current situation. Photograph
 Conduct a Risk Assessment
 Define what can be achieved. Set the Vision.
 Establish resources required
 Plan the approach and communicate
 Share equally the responsibilities
 Monitor via auditing
