Introduction
5S is a workplace organisation method that uses a list of five Japanese words: Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke. The English version of 5S are: Sort, Set, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain.
5S is a simple but power Lean tool and provides a foundation for the Lean environment. It helps to eliminate waste, improve predictability and standardisation, and visual management. An organised workplace reduces non-value added activities of looking for information, tools and materials, and allows employees to communicate visually. Applying 5S generates positive impact on the quality of products and services in any organisation. Safety, productivity, and the utilisation rate of the company’s occupied workspace and equipment are also impacted. Maintaining an organised workplace is key to continued success for the Lean organisation.
This course also provides additional coverage on Visual Management. Visual management is an improvement process to create a workplace that supports company-wide integration of workplace organisation, standardisation, visual control, visual display, and visual metrics. 5S provides for the necessary infrastructure and cultural changes in sustaining the Lean (also known as Toyota Production System or TPS) programme and initiatives.
