5S Series - Sustain
Jan 20, 2021
View Full Size
Today we come to the last series of 5S, which is Sustain.
Sustain is the most difficult section but without sustaining the activities of 1 to 4 of the S series, your effort will be wasted.
Management Support is important
Without commitment from managers, the 5S processes won’t last long. Supervisors and managers should be involved in auditing the 5S work processes, and getting feedback from workers. They also need to provide the tools, training, and time for workers to get their jobs done right.
Department tours has to be done properly
Bringing teams from one department to visit other departments will help familiarize the entire workforce with the processes of your facility. This type of “cross auditing” helps to spread good ideas, and inspires people to come up with new ways to improve the 5S implementation.
Updated training
As time passes, there may be changes in your workplace, such as new equipment, new products, or new work rules. When this happens, revise your 5S work standards to accommodate those changes, and provide training on the new standards.
Progress audits
The standards that are created in the 5S program should provide specific and measurable goals. Checking on those goals with a periodic audit can provide important information and guidance. Where is 5S working well? Where are teams falling behind?
Performance evaluations
Once you know your goals are reasonable, make performance part of each employee evaluation. When teams and individuals perform well, celebrate it, and post overall results so each team can see how they compare to the rest of the facility.
Hope with this last series of the 5S, you able to implement successfully in your process or offices. 5S can help to improve your work area situation to better and better each time. Helping you to save cost in your daily operation as well.
Till then keep on 5S practices all time!

5S Series - Standardize

We continue to the 4th Step which is the Standardize or in Japanese name it as Seiketsu.
We have cover the three steps of 5S cover the basics of clearing, organizing, and cleaning a work space; on their own, those steps will provide short-term benefits. The fourth step is as well important we name it as Standardize, or “seiketsu,” which simply means standardization.
By writing down what is being done, where, and by whom, you can incorporate the new practices into normal work procedure. This paves the way for long-term change.
Record down the decisions that you make in your 5S program will help ensure that your work doesn’t just disappear. If you made a 5S map in the Set In Order step, that map can be part of your new standard for the area. In the same way, the process that you use for red-tagging items can be written down and included in the standards.
Writing out your decisions doesn’t mean you can’t change your mind, though. The purpose of 5S is to make your workplace better, not to make it unchangeable. You are writing the standards for your facility, and you can change them to fit new information or new business needs.
Below are some tools for Standardizing that you may use at your work practices,

This communication is a key part of the Standardize step. Common tools for this process include:
- 5S checklists – Listing the individual steps of a process makes it easy for workers to follow that process completely. It also provides a simple auditing tool to check progress later on.
- Job cycle charts – Identify each task to be performed in a work area, and decide on a schedule or frequency for each of those tasks. Then, assign responsibility to a particular worker (or job duty). The resulting chart can be posted visibly to resolve questions and promote accountability.
- Procedure labels and signs – Provide operating instructions, cleaning steps, and preventative maintenance procedures right where that information will be needed.

5S Series - Shine
Jan 6, 2021
View Full Size
Today we talk about step 3 which is Shine, mening ''cleanliness''.
Shine moves far beyond than just pushing a broom around every now and then. It involves regular cleaning of every part of the work area — often a daily wipe-down, and a more thorough cleaning each week.
Importantly, the Shine step is not meant to be a job for the maintenance or janitorial staff.
Each worker should clean their own work area, and the equipment they use.
This approach has several benefits:
But for 5S to give the best results, each worker should take personal responsibility for their own working space.
Shine can be as Preventative Maintenance
Keeping work areas clean will have many advantages. One important advantage is that it’s easy to spot leaks, cracks, or misalignments.
If the people keeping the area clean are the same people who work there regularly, they will be quick to recognize any of these problems.
Leaving those problems unnoticed and unresolved could result in equipment failure, safety hazards, and loss of productivity.
With the constant cleaning and inspections used in the Shine step of 5S, the system can feed into a preventative maintenance program.
This way, 5S can extend the working life of equipment and help reduce emergency downtime.

Importantly, the Shine step is not meant to be a job for the maintenance or janitorial staff.
Each worker should clean their own work area, and the equipment they use.
This approach has several benefits:
- Workers who are familiar with the area will quickly notice any problems that arise
- Hazards or difficult situations will be understood and accounted for
- Items that are out of place or missing will be recognized
- Workers will tend to keep their own workspaces cleaner during normal operations

5S Series - Set In Order
Jan 5, 2021
View Full Size
We come into the second step in 5S, which is Set In Order, Seiton in Japanese.
The goal here is to organize the work area. Each item has it's own place and should be easy to find, use, and return: a place for everything, and everything in its place. Tools that are used frequently should be stored near the place they are used.
Spare equipment, supplies, and other tools that are used less often can be kept in a central location, where multiple teams can share them.
Items that are typically used together (such as drills and drill bits) should be stored near each other.
Each of these decisions will make sense on its own, but it may become difficult to keep track of everything.
It may be helpful to create a 5S map as part of this process.
A 5S map is a diagram or floor plan that provides an overview of a work area, process, or station. It provides a visual reference to show where the tools, supplies, workers, and travel paths are, and how they relate to each other. A good map may also include a description of the work that happens in the area shown.
No matter which approach is used to create it, the resulting 5S map should be kept as a training tool, used for reference in later steps of 5S, and updated over time as the work area changes.
Once storage locations are assigned, each storage area should be labeled. Label the outside of cabinet doors to help workers quickly identify what’s inside each one. Then, label any interior shelves to show where different supplies belong. The same ideas extend to rack labels, bins, and other storage systems.
Organization can extend to the floor, too. Work areas, movement lanes, and storage for supplies and finished products can all be marked with floor marking tape.
Hope above will help you and your organization have knowledge and implement 5S.

5S Series - Sort
Jan 4, 2021
View Full Size
Happy New Year folks! Hope you are well and healty in Year 2021. May Your business grows to better and generate high revenue than year 2020.
Let's continue with education with this time is 5S. Today posting we touch in first of the 5S which is Sort.
For this step, take a close look at the items, tools, and materials in a work area. Items that are necessary or useful for the work being done in that space should be kept there. Everything else should be removed.
Some of those removed items will need to be thrown away or recycled. Other items might belong to another work process or location; they should be returned to their “homes.” However, you might find some items that you aren’t sure about.
Red-Tagging Unknown Items
If you find an item that you can’t identify, or that has uncertain ownership, it’s time to use a red tag. “Red-Tagging” temporarily attaches a highly-visible tag to the item, which notes where it was found and when. Then, red-tagged items from all work areas are collected in a single location: a “lost and found” for tools, materials, and equipment.
So let's begin this very 1st step of 5S - Sorting!
Remember clearing out unnecessary materials in step 1 (Sort) will provide the space needed to organize the important items in step 2 (Set In Order).
Then, once the work space is de-cluttered and organized, dirt and grime can be removed in step 3 (Shine).
These changes to workers’ job duties and work environment should be reflected in updated procedures through step 4 (Standardize).
Finally, those new procedures won’t amount to much unless responsibility is assigned and progress is tracked — as required for step 5 (Sustain). And with responsibility and tracking, workers will continue to apply the steps, returning to step 1.

|
STRENGTHS Strengths are internal, positive attributes of your company. These are things that are within your control. (Internal company factors) |
WEAKNESSES Weaknesses are negative factors that detract from your strengths. These are things that you might need to improve on to be competitive. (Internal company factors) |
|
OPPORTUNITIES Opportunities are external factors in your business environment that are likely to contribute to your success. (Factors external to the company) |
THREATS Threats are external factors that you have no control over. You may want to consider putting in place contingency plans for dealing them if they occur. (Factors external to the company) |

- List ways you can work on building up your weaknesses.
- Set SMART goals for each of the opportunities you identified.
- Devise a plan to use your strengths to decrease the threats you identified.
Then, look for ways to combine data from different quadrants in even more ways:
- Explore how you can combine your strengths and opportunities to develop new strategies.
- Try combining strengths and threats to identify threats you can eliminate.
- Look at your weaknesses and opportunities to create a list of areas ready for improvement.
- Make a list of areas to avoid that fall under weaknesses and threats.
