IDEA BEHIND 5S
• IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE HIGH
LEVELS OF QUALITY, SAFETY,AND
PRODUCTIVITY, WORKERS MUST
HAVE A CONDUCIVE WORKING
ENVIRONMENT
WHAT IS 5S?
• Developed by the Japanese
• Housekeeping System
• Helps Create a Better Working
Environment and a Consistently
High Quality Process
THE 5S PRINCIPLES
• SEIRI – Organisation/Sort out

impressive "secret"
• The factories were so well organized
that abnormal situations were readily
apparent
DISCOVERY OF 5S
• Equipments were so clean and well
maintained that any problem such
as a loose bolt or leaking oil could
be easily seen
• This passion of cleanliness and
orderliness became a hallmark of
Japanese organizations
ADVANTAGES OF 5S
• If tools and materials are conveniently
located in uncluttered work areas
• Operators spend less time looking for
items
• This leads to higher workstation
efficiency, a fundamental goal in mass
production

TOOLS
• 5S IS THE STARTING POINT OF
ALL THE QC TOOLS
• COULD BE SAID AS THE PRE-
REQUISITE OF ALL QC TOOLS
METHODOLOGY
OF 5S
1. ORGANISATION(SEIRI)
• Decide what you need
• Remove unnecessary clutter
• All tools, gauges, materials, classified
and then stored
• Remove items which are broken,
unusable or only occasionally used
2. ORDERLINESS(SEITON)
• ONCE YOU HAVE ELIMINATED ALL
THE UNNEEDED ITEMS
• NOW TURN TO THE LEFT OVER
ITEMS
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”
ORDERLINESS(SEITON)
Workplace Checkpoints:-
• Positions of aisles and storage places
clearly marked?
• Tools classified and stored by frequency
of use?
• Pallets stacked correctly?
• Safety equipment easily accessible?
• Floors in good condition?
3. SEISO (CLEAN/SHINE)
• Create a spotless workplace
• Identify and eliminate causes of
dirt and grime – remove the need
to clean
• Sweep, dust, polish and paint
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
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
5. SHITSUKE (SUSTAIN /
DISCIPLINE)
• Means inoculate courtesy & good habits
• Driving force behind all 5S
• Deming’s point number 1: Constancy of
purpose
• Make it a way of life
• Part of health and safety
• Involve the whole workforce*
• Develop and keep good habits
SUPPLIER PARTNERSHIP
Organization and suppliers have the same goal – to satisfy
the end user.
 Working with supplier in a partnering atmosphere will yield high
quality product and services.
 In the 1980s procurement decisions were based on price,
awarding contracts to the lowest bidder, sacrificing the quality
and timely delivery
 Deming suggested that long term relationship of loyalty and trust
should be developed with the supplier to ensure improved
products & services.
 Just-in-Time (JIT) concept calls for raw materials and
components to be delivered in small quantities only when they
are required and not before.
INTRODUCTION
Partnering is a long-term commitment between two or more
organizations for the purpose of achieving specific business goals
& objectives.
 The relationship is based upon trust, dedication to common goals
and objectives.
 Benefits include:
o Improved Quality,
o Increased efficiency,
o Lower cost,
o Increased opportunity for innovation, &
o Continuous improvement of products and services
 The three key elements of partnering are:
o Long-term commitment.
o Trust.
o Shared vision.
PARTNERING
 Long-term commitment provides the needed environment
for both parties to work toward continuous improvement.
 Total organization involvement is necessary, CEO to the
workers.
 Each party contributes its unique strengths to the process.
 A supplier may only take risks in a long-term commitment.
 Dependency appears as a national consequence in a long
term commitment, it is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of
strength of the relationship and is necessary for competitive
advantage.
Long-term commitment
Trust
 The strength of Partnering is based on fairness and parity.
 Trust enables the resources and knowledge of each
partner to be combined to eliminate an adversarial
relationship.

aligned with each parties’ mission.
 Partners must understand each other’s business so that
equitable decisions are made.
 These decisions must be formulated and implemented as a
team.
SOURCING
There are three types of sourcing:
 Sole sourcing
o Organization is forced to use only one supplier.
o Technical specifications, patents, raw material location, etc.
cause this kind of sourcing.
o Partnering is a natural consequence, to benefit the end user.
 Multiple sourcing
o Two or more suppliers for an item are used.
o Competition will result in better quality, lower costs and
better service.
o It eliminates disruption of supply due to strikes etc.
SOURCING cont’d...
 Single sourcing
o A planned decision by the organization to select one
supplier for an item when several sources are available.
o Advantages for the organizations include reduced cost,
complete accountability, supplier loyalty, partnering and a
better end product with less variability.
o Advantages for the supplier include new business from the
customer, reduced cost of the business and production
processes.
o It has allowed organization to reduce their supplier base.

PRINCIPLES OF
CUSTOMER/SUPPLIER RELATIONS
Dr. Kaoru Ishikawa has suggested ten principles:
1. Customer and supplier are fully responsible for Quality
control.
2. Customer and supplier should respect each others
independence.
3. Supplier is entitled to complete information from the
customer.
4. Non-adversarial contract between customer and
supplier is needed for quality, quantity, price, delivery
method & payments.
5. Supplier should provide quality to meet customers
satisfaction.
PRINCIPLES OF
CUSTOMER/SUPPLIER RELATIONS
6. Product quality evaluation methods should be
decided by the mutual consent of both the parties.
7. Amicable settlement of disputes between customer
and supplier should be established in the contract.
8. Continuous information exchange will improve the
product or service quality.
9. To maintain an amicable relationship, both the
parties should do procurement, production, and
inventory planning.
10. Best interest of the end user should be considered
while doing business transactions.
SUPPLIER CERTIFICATION
ASQC has developed the following certification

evaluation.
7. Supplier must make inspections and tests. (Laboratory
results & SPC are used)
8. Supplier shall have the ability to timely provide inspection
and test data.
Occasionally it may be necessary to decertify a supplier as
a result of a major problem.
Benefits of certification include customer/supplier
partnership, direct shipment to stock and reduction of
supplier numbers to a manageable level.
SUPPLIER RATING
Supplier rating system is based on quality,
delivery and other added services.
The objectives of a rating system are:
o To obtain an overall rating of supplier performance.
o To ensure communication with suppliers in the areas of
quality, service, delivery and other desired measures.
o To provide supplier with a detailed and factual record of
problems for corrective action.
o To enhance the relationship between the customer and the
supplier.
RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT
All the previously discussed issues contribute to
the development of the relationship. It includes:
1. Inspection
The goal is to eliminate or automate the inspection
process. It has four phases:
o 100% inspection,
o Sampling,
o Audit, and
o Identity check.
RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT
2. Training
All personnel should receive quality awareness and
problem solving, technical and safety training.
 Team approach
Customer/supplier teams are established in areas such as
product design, process design and quality system.
4. Recognition and Award
Incentives/recognition in the form of newsletters, letter of
accommodation, ensures that suppliers remain committed
to a quality improvement strategy.
