 5S
If we do not do 5S, we can’t do any
other work efficiently. They are
features which are common to all
places and are the indicators of
how well an organization is
functioning.
 COMMON MIND SETS…

Its an additional burden. Too busy to do 5S

activities.

Why clean it? It will get dirty again

We cannot change the existing setup.

More work pressure – No time for these things

5S means cleaning up the desk

SEIRI = Sorting – Just in Case to
“Just-in-Time”
Meaning Distinguish between necessary and
unnecessary items and eliminate the unnecessary items

Activity: Establish a criteria for eliminating

unwanted items. - Eliminate unwanted items either by
disposing them or by relocating them.

Success Area saved or percentage of space available

Indicator
SEIRI = Sorting – Fight with
habits
SEIRI = Sorting 3 Categories

√ - Item Required
X – Item Not Required
?– Undecided
Move to Red Tag Holding Area
Seiri = Sorting What is unnecessary

1. Item is not needed

2. Item is needed however quantity in stock is more
than what is needed for consumption in near
future
3. Item is needed but once in a blue-moon

4. Contingency Parts
Critically decide the quantity of contingency
parts to be retained and criteria for such parts

Seiri = Sorting Identifying unnecessary

1. Parts & Work in Process (WIP)

• Things fallen back behind the machine or rolled under it
• Broken / some items inside the machine
• Things under the racks/ platform
• Extra WIP
• Stock of rejected items
• Items accumulated over period for rework
• Material awaiting disposal decision
• Material brought for some trial, still lying even after trial
• Small qty of material no longer in use

Contd..
Seiri = Sorting Identifying unnecessary

2. Tools, Toolings, Measuring devices

• Old jigs, tools not in use are lying
• Modified tools, tooling for trial, are lying after trial
• Worn out items like bushes, liners, toggles etc. lying
• Broken tools, bits, etc. may be lying
• Measuring equipment not required for the operation
being performed, is lying
3. Contingency Parts
• Many times storage place for contingency parts become
a last refuge for broken parts, surplus items and things
nobody is likely to use
Contd..
Seiri = Sorting Identifying unnecessary

4. Shelves and Lockers

• Shelves and lockers tends to collect things that nobody
ever uses, like surplus, broken items, used tea-cups etc.
5. Passages and Corners
•WIP material waiting for decision or dispatch
• Dust, material not required seem to gather in corner
6. Besides Pillars and under the stairs
• These places tends to collect junk, spittoon etc.
7. Walls and Bulletin Boards
• Old out dated notices which have lost their relevance
• Posters or bulletins on wall
• Dust, remains of torn notices, cell tape pieces Contd..
Seiri = Sorting Identifying unnecessary

8.Floor, Pits, Partitions

• Defective parts
• Protection caps, shoe covers
• Packing material, stickers, barcodes, cut-leads
• Hardware items, small items, runners, plastic granules
• Even tools, tooling
Items dropped on the floor are never picked
9.Computer Hard Disk
• Many unwanted, outdated, temporary files pile up
•Old dated mails still remaining in inbox and sent items
•Deleted mails not being purged when closed
•Recycle bin not emptied

Drawing a process flow chart for the system
eg. How to make and use category wise grouping

2. Operational Analysis
Preparing the sequence of operations for system
eg. How to perform Seiri (sorting)

Seiri = Sorting Dealing with papers

How to reduce papers on

your table ?
1. Make a single pile of papers
2. Go through them and sort in
following categories
a) Immediate action
b) Low priority
c) Pending
d) Reading material

SEITION = Systematic Arrangement

Meaning To determine type of storage and layout that

will ensure easy accessibility for everyone .

Activity - Functional storage

- Creating place for everything and putting
everything in its place

Success - Time saved in searching (30 sec to locate an item)

Indicator - Time saved in material handling
SEITION = Systematic Arrangement
In short, SEITION means PEEP

Place for Everything

&
Everything in its place
 Seiton = Systematic Arrangement

How to achieve Systematic Arrangement

Decide where things belong

Decide how things should be put away

Obey the Put away rules

 Seiton = Systematic Arrangement

ow to achieve Systematic Arrangement ?

ecide where things belong
Standardize Nomenclature

SEISO = Cleaning
Meaning Cleaning trash, filth, dust and other foreign
matter. Cleaning as a form of Inspection

Activity - Keep workplace spotlessly clean

- Inspection while cleaning
- Finding minor problems with cleaning inspection

Success - Reduction in machine down time

Indicator - Reduction in no. of accidents
Seiso = Cleaning

• Here cleaning means more than just keeping

things clean. Cleaning should be viewed as a
form of Visual Inspection

• Preventive measures should be taken to tackle

problems of dust, grim, burrs, leakage etc.
Root cause of the problem should be identified
and it should be eliminated
Seiso = Cleaning

Various Minor Defects

Seiso = Cleaning

5 Minutes Every day for cleaning

• Devote 5 minutes everyday for cleaning your
work area

• Participation of everyone is required

• Attack hard to clean places regularly

SEIKETSU = Standardization
Meaning Setting up standards / Norms for a neat, clean,
workplace and details of how to maintain the
norm (Procedure)

Activity - Innovative visual management

- Color coding
- Early detection of problem and early action

Success Increase in 5S indicator

Indicator
SEIKETSU = Standardization
Tools used for analysis :
MTTR
MTBF
OEE
Seiketsu = Standardization

• Regularizing 5S activities so that

abnormalities are revealed

•Make it easy for everyone to identify

the state of normal or abnormal
condition

• For maintaining previous 3S, deploy

visual management
Seiketsu = Standardization

• It has been estimated by scientific

study that 60% of all human activities
starts with sight

• 5S is easy to do once.It is consistency

that is difficult. That is why Visual
Management is so important, so that
everybody will know that there is
some problem.Visual Management
Seiketsu = Standardization

What visual control communicates ?

It grabs one or more of our senses in

order to

• Alert us to an abnormality
• Help us recover quickly
• Promote adherence and prevention
• Enable successful self management
Seiketsu = Standardization

Some methods for visual communication

⇒ Color coding
⇒ Use of Labels
⇒ Danger alerts
⇒ Indication where things should be put
⇒ Directional arrows/ marks
⇒ Transparent covers
⇒ Performance indicators
Seiketsu = Standardization

Some methods for visual communication

Labels
⇒ Precision management labels
⇒ Inspection labels
⇒ Temperature labels
⇒ Responsibility photos
Seiketsu = Standardization

Points to remember in making visual c

control tools
1. Make them easy to see from
distance
2. Put the display on the things
3. Everyone can tell what is right and
what is wrong
4. Anybody can follow them and make
necessary corrections easily
5. Work place should look brighter &
orderly
Seiketsu = Standardization

Some everyday visual management

examples
♦ Traffic signal
♦ Zebra crossing
♦ In car - Petrol indicator
- Speed indicator
♦ Direction arrows
♦ Electric danger sign
♦ Toilet
Seiketsu = Standardization

Some visual communication signs

SHITSUKE = Self Discipline
Meaning Every one sticks to the rule and makes it a habit

Activity - Participation of everyone in developing good

habits
- Regular audits and aiming for higher level

Success High employee morale

Indicator Involvement of all people
SHITSUKE = Self Discipline
Activities :
5S Committee
5S Training
5S Competition / evaluation
5S Month
Posters , Literature etc.
Shitsuke = Self Discipline

We need everyone to maintain 5S

guidelines.

To maintain DISCIPLINE, we need

to practice and repeat until it
becomes a way of life.

Discipline is the Core of 5S

Shitsuke = Self Discipline

Discipline means making a steady

habit of properly maintaining
correct procedure.
procedure

Time and effort involved in

establishing proper arrangement
and orderliness will be in vain if
we do not have discipline to
maintain it.
Shitsuke = Self Discipline Pledge

It shall be my constant effort to

maintain my workplace in good
order by
 Assigning a place for everything
& keeping everything in its place
 Sorting out unwanted material
periodically & discarding them
 Keeping my work area neat &
clean everyday
