5S is a system for organizing workspaces developed in Japan. It consists of 5 principles: Sort, Set In Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. The methodology involves removing unnecessary items, organizing necessary items by frequency of use, cleaning and maintaining the workspace, standardizing processes, and sustaining the system. Implementing 5S results in workplaces that are easier to manage, have smooth workflow without obstructions, minimize accidents and mistakes, increase space, improve productivity, quality and safety, and motivate employees. Examples show the transformation of workspaces through applying 5S principles.

3. THE SECRET TO
JAPANESE SUCCESS

4. What is 5S?
5S is a system for organizing
spaces. So work can be performed
efficiently, effectively, and safely.

5. What is 5S?
• Developed by the Japanese
• Housekeeping System
• Helps Create a Better Working
Environment and a Consistently High
Quality Process

6. The origins of 5S
• 5S was developed in Japan and
was identified as one of the
techniques that enabled Just in
Time manufacturing.
• TPS

7. THE 5S PRINCIPLES
• SEIRI – Sort
• SEITON – Set In Order
• SEISO – Shining
• SEIKETSU – Standardize
• SHITSUKE - Sustain

8. METHODOLOGY
OF 5S

9. 1. SORT (SEIRI)
• Decide what you need
• Remove unnecessary things
• All tools, gauges, materials, classified
and then stored
• Remove items which are broken,
unusable or only occasionally used

10. RED TAG TECHNIQUE
• Give staff red labels
• Ask staff to go through every item in
the work place
• Ask if needed & those that are
needed

• Store in the red tag area
RED
TAG

11. For wavering items
• Place the suspected items in the red
tag area for one week
• Allow the staff to reevaluate the
needed items
• At the end of week those who need
items should be returned

Once per year
Throw away
Store away
from the
workplace
Avg. Once per month
Once per week
Store together
but offline
High Once Per Day Locate at the
workplace

13. 2. SET IN ORDER(SEITON)
• Once you have eliminated all the
unneeded items
• Now turn to the left over items

14. ORDERLINESS(SEITON)
Organise layout of tools and
equipment
– Designated locations
– Use tapes and labels
– Ensure everything is available as it is needed
and at the “point of use”

15. ORDERLINESS(SEITON)
Workplace Checkpoints:-
• Positions of storage places clearly
marked?
• Tools classified and stored by frequency
of use?
• Pallets stacked correctly?
• Safety equipment easily accessible?
• Floors in good condition?

16. 3. SEISO (SHINE)
• Create a spotless workplace
• Identify and eliminate causes of dirt
and grime – remove the need to
clean
• Sweep, dust, polish and paint

17. SEISO (CLEAN/SHINE)
• Divide areas into zones
• Define responsibilities for cleaning
• Tools and equipment must be
owned by an individual
• Focus on removing the need to
clean

18. 4. SEIKETSU (STANDARDISE)
• Generate a maintenance system
for the first three
• Develop procedures, schedules,
practices
• Continue to assess the use and
disposal of items
• Regularly audit using checklists
and measures of housekeeping
• Real challenge is to keep it clean

19. 5. SHITSUKE
(SUSTAIN)
• Means inoculate courtesy & good
habits
• Driving force behind all 5S
• Make it a way of life
• Part of health and safety
• Involve the whole workforce
• Develop and keep good habits

20. 5S in Bangla Language
• ১. Sort (বাছাই করা) :- কর্মক্ষেত্র থেক্ষক অপ্রক্ষয়াজনীয় উপকরন অপসারন করা ।
•
• ২. Set_in_Order (ক্রর্ অনুসাক্ষর সাজাক্ষনা ):- সুশৃঙ্খল ও সংগঠিতভাক্ষব প্রততটি প্রক্ষয়াজনীয়
উপকরন সাতজক্ষয় রাখা ।
•
• ৩.Shine (চক চক / পতরষ্কার করা):-ক্রর্াগত পতরষ্কার অবস্থায় সরঞ্জার্ বা যন্ত্রপাতত রাখা
এবং একটি সুন্দর সাজাক্ষনা ও থগাছাক্ষনা কর্মক্ষেক্ষত্র তততর করা ।
•
• ৪. Standardize ( র্ান তনর্মারন করা ):- সঠিক পদ্ধতত অবলম্বন কক্ষর কাজ করক্ষত হক্ষব এবং
কর্মস্থক্ষলর পতরক্ষবশ বজায় রাখক্ষত হক্ষব ।
•
• ৫. Sustain (বজায় রাখা ):-তনয়তর্ত ভাক্ষব উপক্ষরর সব গুক্ষলা পক্ষয়ক্ষে পযমক্ষবেণ করক্ষত হক্ষব
এবং সবগুক্ষলা তনয়র্ র্ক্ষর রাখক্ষত হক্ষব ।
