 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.
SEIRI = Sorting
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 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. Contingency Parts

Critically decide the quantity of contingency

parts to be retained and criteria for such parts
 Organization

Frequency of use Storage Method

*Things you have not used Throw them out

LOW
in the past one year
*Things you have used once Store at distance OR
in the last 6-12 months Keep in store
*Things you have used only Store it in central place
once in the last 2-6 months in your zone
*Things used more than once Store it in central place
a month in your zone

HIGH *Things used once a week Store near the workplace

*Things used daily or hourly Store near the workplace
Seiri = Sorting Identifying unnecessary

1. Parts & Work in Process (WIP)

• Things fallen back behind the machine or rolled under it
• Broken items inside the machine
• Things under the racks/ platform
• Extra WIP
• Stock of rejected items
• Items accumulated over period for rework

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 etc.
5. Passages and Corners
• 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, covers
• Packing material
• Hardware items , small items
• Even tools, tooling
Items dropped on the floor are never picked
9.Computer Hard Disk

• 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

 Colour 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 labels
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

Discipline means making a steady

habit of properly maintaining
correct 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
