identify unnecessary items
• Move unnecessary items( broken tools, obsolete jigs
and fixtures, scrap and excess raw material etc.) to
central stored area
• Free up valuable floor space (Space utilization)

THOSE THAT ARE NEEDED
IN WHAT QUANTITY
NOT NEEDED
STORE IN THE RED
TAG AREA
RED TAG IT
20. 2. SET (SEITON)
Based on finding efficient and effective storage of necessary items
Apply “Can see, Can take out, and Can return” philosophy
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”
“PLACEFOR EVERYTHING& EVERYTHINGIN ITS PLACE”
24. 3. SHINE(SEISO)
oCleaning up one’s workplace daily so that there is no dust on
floors, machines or equipment.
oDivide areas into zones
oDefine responsibilities for cleaning
oTools and equipment must be owned by an individual
It will create ownership and build pride in the workers
Cleaning with meaning Cleaning with inspection
25.
26. Example of “Shining” activities
Daily sweeping and mopping of floor, bathroom, corridor etc.
Regular cleaning and maintenance of equipment and tools
Periodical check for changes in equipment and the service
area such as:
leaks
vibration
misalignment
breakage etc.
27. 4. STANDARDISE (SEIKETSU)
Maintenance an environment where first three S are
implemented in same manner throughout the
organisation.
Give opportunities to employees to take active part in
development of these standards
Regularly audit using checklists and measures of
housekeeping
Real challenge is to keep it clean
28.
29. Example of “Standardize” activities
• Work instructions, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
• Checklist development and regular usage for SOPs
• Mechanism and format development for ordering supplies,
reporting etc
• Colour coding for waste segregation
• Standardized common symbols
30.
31. 5. DISCIPLINE or SUSTAIN
(SHITSUKE)
■ Maintain S1-S4 through discipline, commitment and empowerment
■ Driving force behind all 5S
■ Part of health and safety
■ Involve the whole workforce
It focuses on defining a new mindset and a standard in workplace
32.
33. EXAMPLE OF “SUSTAIN” ACTIVITIES
• Regular progress reporting
• Refresher training
• Periodical evaluation of 5S activities with proper advices for
continuation and further improvements
• Appreciation, recognition and awarding on good 5S activities
• Reminder using 5S corner, new letters, good practice sheet
etc.
34.
35. Zero changeovers leading to product/ service
diversification
Zero defects leading to higher quality
Zero waste leading to lower cost
Zero delays leading to on time delivery
Zero injuries promoting safety
Zero breakdowns bringing better maintenance
36.

39. Wrap-up
• Positive attitude is very important for implementation
of 5S activities
• It is not “Cleaning Campaign”
• 5S activities are to create good working environment

“Mura”(unevenness), and “Muda”(waste)
• It is a basis of organization management
