5 S Workshop
(30/07/02 to 01/08/02)
5S SUSTAIN

2. 2
Introduction
 Implementing the five pillars begins
 When you SORT ....
Getting rid of every thing that is not
needed in work place.
 Followed by SET IN ORDER ….
Putting the remaining needed things
into order so that they can easily be
found & used by any body.

3. 3
Introduction
Followed by SHINE
 It is the component that emphasizes
the removal of dirt, grime, dust from
the work place.
 Another key purpose is to keep every
thing in top condition so that when
some one needs to use something, it
is ready to be used.

4. 4
Introduction
 After implementing
 SORT
 SET IN ORDER
 SHINE
 We should learn about a way to make
sure that first 3 pillars are always
implemented.

5. 5
Introduction
Standardize differs from the 3
pillars.
It refers not an activity but to a
standardized state or condition.
Standardization is a method we
use to maintain the first 3 pillars.

6. 6
Introduction
 After learning how to standardize the
implementation of 3 pillars,how
good are standards & procedures
without the discipline to follow
them?
 This is where the fifth pillar comes
in…

SUSTAIN

8. 8
Definition
The fifth pillar is SUSTAIN
In the context of 5 pillars,to
SUSTAIN means to make a habit
of properly maintaining correct
procedures.

9. 9
Definition
What do you mean when when
you talk about SUSTAINING
something?
We think of it as drawing on
some thing from inside our self
in order to maintain a course of
action-even when forces in our
lives challenge this effort.

10. 10
Problems without
implementing SUSTAIN well
Unneeded items begin piling up as
soon as sorting is completed.
No matter how well Set in order is
planned & implemented,tools do
not return to their designated
place after use.
No matter how dirty equipment
becomes,little or nothing is done
to clean it. Contd…

11. 11
Continuation…
Items are left protruding into
walkways,causing people to
trip & get injured.
Dirty & disorganized work
place lower people morale.
