5s for the Personal Computer

You work with documents, presentations, graphics, and other files all
day – and chances are, you have a lot of them. Stop the file clutter by
managing your files more effectively. 5s concept provides the foundation for
all quality improvement programs. It results to an increase of daily productivity
and better organization.

https://www.facebook.com/5sCleaning/photos/ever-curious-where-5s-comes-from-it-
is-a-japanese-methodology-of-cleaning-seiri-/323955878209817/

Step 1: Sort (Seiri)

Remove or discard what is not needed so that there are fewer hazards
and less clutter to interfere with work. Only keep what is needed.

6
Step 2: Set In Order (Seiton)
Organize your files and folders to reduce clutter and allow for instant
access:
1) Establish a naming convention for files. This will make files easier to locate
2) Create a folder system for organizing your work. Tips include:

Step 3: Shine (Seiso)

1) Cleaning your computer and check your computer for problems:
a. Clean your computer screen.
b. Clean the key board.
c. Clean all cables and ensure free from dust.
d. Clean computer main box.
e. Run system diagnostic/maintenance utilities
i. Anti‐virus
ii. Disk defragmentation
iii. Anti‐spyware
f. Clean the start menu
2) Audit that you are saving files using the correct naming conventions, and
that naming conventions are being used in shared locations as well.

Step 4: Standardize (Seiketsu)

Develop consistency in practices over time.

Step 5: Sustain (Shitsuke)

Allocate 5 minutes a week to run through organization of your PC.
Remember, 5 minutes can save the effort you spend to search through
unnecessary clutter! Studies show that you can use your computer twice as
efficiently if you organize it well!

POSTURE PERFECT
Ergonomics is the science of designing equipment for safe and
comfortable working environment.
When sitting in front of the computer, make sure that you are sitting in the
right way. If you slouch or sit too far away from the computer table, your body
will soon be in great pain.
Here are some things you need to remember to keep yourself safe and
comfortable when working on the computer.

https://www.merakildh.in/2020/02/correct-sitting-posture.html
1. Sit up straight. This will keep your shoulder and neck from getting stiff.
2. Place your feet flat on the floor. If your feet do not reach the floor, use a
stable footrest.
3. Your elbows should be bent at a right angle at your side. This position
allows your arms to be relaxed.
4. Make sure your monitor is right in front of you. It is best to sit about two
feet away from the screen.
5. Look away from the computer every few minutes to rest your eyes.
Blink a few times, do not let your eyes get tired.
6. When working on the computer for a long time, take frequent short
breaks. Wiggle your fingers, shake your hands and stand up and
stretch on your tiptoes.
7. Do not squeeze the mouse. Lay your hand gently on it. When moving
the mouse, move your whole arm and not just your hand.
8. Use an optical glass antiglare filter when needed.

Directions: Read the statements carefully. Mark check ( ) if the statement
follows the OSH policies and procedures, otherwise mark wrong
(X). Write your answer on your TLE CSS activity notebook.

Basic Computer System
2 Maintenance

What is It

Basic Computer System Maintenance

Just like getting an oil change for the car, maintaining the computer is
crucial to keeping it secure and in good working condition. Good computer
maintenance will not only make sure the computer is running optimally but will
also protect your valuable data from cybersecurity threats.

Computer maintenance is the practice of keeping computers in a good

state of repair.

 Folders
Folders are used to organize and categorize files in your computer
storage.

 Antivirus
Use the antivirus to check your computer, flash drives and other
storage devices for any files infected with viruses and malware. Make
sure that your antivirus has the latest update.

10
 Backup
Creating a backup of your files will give you the assurance that if
something goes wrong with your file, you can still retrieve a duplicate of
your file from your backup storage.

 System Update
System Updates were designed to address software and security
issues and problems in our computers. This ensures safe computing.
To update your operating system, just follow the steps below:
1. Click on the Windows 10 start button
2. Click the Settings – the one with gear-liked icon.
3. In the windows Settings that would appear on your screen, scroll
down to Update and Security and click it.
4. In the Windows update window, click Check for updates. Restart
your computer after the installation of updates.

Additional Activities

Activity 5. Taking Care of Your Computer.

Think about all the things you own, such as clothes, books, and toys.
You must take good care of them so that they will last for a long time. Your
Computer, like your other belongings, needs a special care and attention to
last a long time and remain in good working condition.

TENDER, LOVING CARE (TLC)

Here are some things that you should always remember to give your
computer the tender, loving care it needs.
1. Always keep your computer free from dust, grime, and all kinds of dirt.
Wipe it every other day with a soft, lightly damp, lint-free cloth. The
keyboard should also be disinfected with alcohol wipes.
2. Place your computer, speaker, scanner, and printer atop a sturdy
surface. Your computer table should be strong enough to hold their
entire weight.
3. Slightly cold weather is ideal for computers. If the weather is too hot,
turn off your computer unit.
4. Avoid cluttering up the space around your computer.
5. Keep all liquids and food items away from your computer because they
can damage delicate electronic circuits. Liquids can also cause serious
electrical shock if spilled on the computer.
6. Wash your hands before using the computer to avoid “sticky keys”.
