Sustain
A factory that has not adopted the 5-S’s is dirty with oil, dirt, and chips. Parts
and boxes are lying around in non-designated areas; high precision
equipment is bought, but not maintained. When a jig or fixture is needed, it
cannot be found. The morale of associates is poor and the plant is doomed
for trouble.
Usage: No matter how long you take the 5-S remedy, it is very effective,
and there are no side effects.

THEMEANINGOF 5S
Set-In-Order
Neatly place and identify needed work items.
Designate a place for every thing so that
anyone can find it. Always put things back in
their designated spots.
Shine
Clean up. Always maintain a clean and shiny
work place. Identify why things are getting
dirty.
Standardize
Become a role model for adhering to the
standards of the first three S’s and encourage
others to follow them. Make rules and
procedures to promote a good work
environment until the first three S’s become
everybody’s second nature.
Sustain
Maintain and practice the first four S’s. Be
thorough in straightening up, putting things in
order and cleaning.

SORT
Meaning
Sort: Separate what is needed and what is not
needed, and keep only those things that are
needed in the workplace. Discard unnecessary
items.
Even after neatly arranging our tools, the proper tool can be difficult to find if
we haven’t eliminated those which we don’t need. If we don’t get rid of
things, we may not have room for the stuff we do need.

SORT
Step 1 -
Method
Make a clear standard for deciding what is necessary
• Things used once in a day
Place close to area of use
• Things used once a week
Place close to the process
• Things used once in 2 months
Place close to the plant
• Things we don’t know if we’ll use
Place in a temporary storage
(If not used in one year, take further measures -
throw away.)
• Things not used
Throw away
Step 2 – Choose a work area where success is sure; schedule a
red tag event and have associates straighten up
according to the standard

SORT
Examples
We don’t need things we can’t use.
• Worn out gloves, sand paper, etc.
• Worn down drills, taps, and punches
• Inaccurate micrometers, calipers, and other measuring tools
• Jigs that can’t be used
Are rejects lined up with good parts?
• As soon as rejects are found, put them in the reject area.
• Remove defective parts from the work cell at the end of every shift
We don’t need things we don’t use
• Inventory, components of products not being made, or unfinished parts
• Old prototypes or samples
We don’t need a product we can’t sell
• Things whose design has become outdated.
• Things made in excess, due to mistaken expectations
• Things unable to be sold because they have rusted or rotted
We don’t need things that slow us down
• Doors which must be opened or closed
transporting products to the subsequent
process?
• If structurally possible, consider removing
the doors and walls

Standardize by taking pictures, drawing sketches, and marking floor so
everyone knows where the equipment belongs.
• Use shadow boards to standardize location of hand tools
• Place Shadow boards for easy
access of tools by operator
• Mark addresses on both racks
and totes
• Designate location and label it
for all materials
• Use bins as signals for
production when possible

SHINE
Method
Step 1 - First, get rid of all that dirt
• Use the top down cleaning method – clean from the ceiling to the floor
• Clean thoroughly with a broom, mop, and a dust cloth
• Make sure that the office staff and the leaders participate.
They should use the brooms, too!
Step 3 - Pinpoint the root cause of dirt and cut it off at the source.
• Are you cleaning every day, but are still unable to keep things clean?
• Pinpoint the root source of the dirt and take corrective measures so
that dirt does not occur
• Conduct a Kaizen project with local operators to locate the root cause
of the dirt; decide how to prevent it and keep
the areas clean.
Page 19 of 43
SHINE
Examples
First, start with some Shine (cleaning) tools
• Are there any dirty dust cloths or mops hanging up?
• Are there any brooms that can’t be used?
• Also, manage brooms and mops by keeping a certain
fixed number of them

“Even if our company does the 5-5, it will never work because the
basics of the job are not even being done”
“Even if we make a tool board, no one returns things to where
they belong.”
“Even if we decide on a place to put parts, it is only followed for
the first two or three days!”

• Design
I will design a product that has been decided, in the way that it
has been decided, on the day that it has been decided.
• Production Work Place
I process the
designated material,
with the designated
machine, following the
pre-determined
methods.
• Materials
I procure the decided
materials, on
the designated day, at the decided price.
• Shipping
I deliver the designated product on the decided
shipping date to the designated place.
• Process Management
I do the production and manpower plan by the decided delivery

We may not understand difficult things like QC or industrial
engineering, but we are doing things just the way they have been
decided.

SUSTAIN
Self Discipline:
Maintain and practice the
first four S’s. Be thorough
in straightening up, putting
things in order and cleaning.
Meaning
SUSTAIN
Once you start the 5S’s do not let them fade out
halfway through and come to nothing. The cycle of starting out
strong and then losing enthusiasm causes people to resist change
and therefore to resist improvement that is essential to our future.
When this occurs the company tends to fall into a rut.
Page 27 of 43
The best way to overcome this type of thinking is to
break the cycle and really devote ourselves to the
continuous improvement program and 5-S approach.
We can all work together and make this a successful
way of conducting our day-to-day business.
Page 28 of 43
SUSTAIN
Meaning
Step 1 - Maintain 5-S awareness
• We need to be continually motivated to improve the company and
promote the 5-S program.
• Distribute a 5-S newsletter, 5-S posters, 5-S awards, 5-S motto, 5-S
Day — always continuing to inspire fresh, new enthusiasm
• Develop a trigger for implementing Improvement activities

PROCEDURES:SORT
Step 2 - Present things that have been decided so that anyone can
understand them
• Not so that they have to read to understand, but so they can see and
understand
• Make it so that anyone can understand within ten seconds

PROCEDURES:SORT
Examples
Let’s look at one day’s work;
Every morning have a 5 minute meeting before starting work
• Cheerful and ready to work
• With all tools and proper gear
• Everyone sharing information

PROCEDURES:SORT
Removing All Unnecessary Items – Red Tag
Activity
Sort does not mean that you throw out only items that
you are sure you will never need. Nor does it mean
that you arrange things into neat, straight patterns.
When you sort, you leave only the bare essentials.
When in doubt, throw it out!
Procedure
Sorting - Wastes Avoided by Implementing Sort
• Waste of Space, including shelves and cabinets
• Parts and Products become unusable and obsolete
1 The Key to
• Waste of time in having to move things around & search for parts
• Waste in control of unneeded items
• Waste of time during inventory
2 Decide which objects need red tags attached
• Inventory, machinery, and facilities are subject to scrutiny
3 Decide on rules for red tags / Attach Red Tags
• Objects not used for over one month
• Tags should be attached by associates involved in process
• Red tag everything suspected of being unnecessary
4 Confirm if object was used (over a period of one month). If used,
remove the tag
5 Dispose of objects with red tags attached
• Classify into defective items, dead stock, and non-circulating
items and dispose
• Red tag inventory: Defects, Dead Stock => Dispose,
Non-circulating items = Move to other section or dispose
Page 32 of 43
PROCEDURES:SET-IN-ORDER
Procedure
1 Decide quantity and location of items to be stored in the cabinet.
• Frequently used items are placed close and at an easily reached
height.
• Arrange by function or process.
Page 33 of 43
PROCEDURES:SET-IN-ORDER
Procedure
1 Prepare paint or tape
• Fixed position—use paint.
• Flexible position—use tape
• White – Production area
• Red – Nonconforming material or tools
• Green – WIP or replenishment
• Blue – Equipment
• Yellow – Safety or Caution
2 Use the following marking methods:
• Indicate rectangular items with rectangles
• Indicate circular items with circles
• Priority on easily moved objects.
• Lines must be uniform and straight
• Lines to be parallel or at right angles to aisles (except for ease
or to improve efficient operation)
3 Ends of shelves and chutes should be inside the lines
• The front of chute should be inside the line.
• Objects should not protrude over the line
4 Maintain the lines
• If lines get erased, repair them.

PROCEDURES:SET-IN-ORDER
1. Set-In-Order: Toolboxes
• Place toolboxes as close as possible to the point of use
o Decide on a convenient place in the work area to place tools
o The more it’s used, the closer to the process you place it
• If practical, label
the tool as well
•
•
•
•
Procedure
1 When items are broken on the shop floor, operators should be
instructed to report to their supervisors immediately.
• Explain at every opportunity the need to alert supervisors and make
them aware of the broken items.
Page 36 of 43
PROCEDURES: SHINE
Procedure
1 Decide on areas of work, aisle, and parts storage
Page 37 of 43
PROCEDURES: SHINE
Procedure
1 Have a “cleanup” day when everyone takes part in “spring” cleaning
• Target aisles, rest areas, and other common use areas.
(Example: aisles will be cleaned after lunch on Fridays.)
2 Allocate an area to each operator and hold him or her responsible for
cleaning within that area
• Allocated area should be in each operator’s own work area, so
each has equal work
• Post responsibilities on the group’s notice board
• Set up a standard Shine work schedule to be conducted 5
minutes each day
3 Eliminate sources of dust and dirt. For places that need continuous
cleaning, determine causes and fix (See 5-S examples)
• Analyze the causes
• Refer to good examples in other locations
• Make a chart of difficult locations to prevent oversight.
Page 38 of 43
PROCEDURES: SHINE
Procedure
1 Make certain what has been decided is communicated to every person
concerned
• Explain at every morning meeting
• Have everyone caution people who are not complying with directions
2 Supervisors should audit this procedure once a week, checking for
noncompliance
• Follow Up to prevent recurrence
• Set a schedule to be followed at all times
(Example: every Tuesday at 1:00 p.m.)
• Pursue causes of “non-conformance”
