The “5S” Approach
Practicing - 1 S
Separate needed items from unneeded items.
Move out the unneeded items.
Throw out whatever is really not needed.
Indicate maximum and minimum quantity of items an also indicate
where, what type of item clearly.
2 S - Seiton = Set in Order.
Orderliness means organizing the way we keep necessary things, making it easier for
anyone to find and use them. This in turn helps in understanding the order of things in
the workplace.
Signboard strategy is a visible orderliness method which helps everyone know where
things go and thus helps in smooth operations.
Practicing - 2S
Observe current arrangements. Is it logical, planned, efficient?
Ensure a place for everything and everything in its place.
Ensure that the arrangements are based on well thought out plan.
Make orderliness a habit.
3 S - Seiso = Shine / Cleanliness
Cleanliness means sweeping floors clean and keeping things tidy.
This is the type of cleanliness most people like to maintain in their own
houses. However we do not adopt the same standards of cleanliness in a
public and workplace. Cleanliness in workplace is closely related to ability
to turn out quality products .
Practising - 3 S
Take pride in your workplace. It reflects your image.
Do not wait until things get dirty, regular cleaning prevents things
becoming dirty.
Put aside 3 minutes every day to clean your workplace.
Contribute to maintaining cleanliness by not throwing things around.
4 S - Seiketsu = Standardize
Cleaned up means that the first 3 S’s (Seiri, Seiton, & Seiso) are being
maintained. It does not refer to an activity but to a state.
Cleaned up is what we get when we perform cleanliness consistently
over a period of time. Seiketsu helps in fructifying the earlier efforts.
Practicing - 4 S
Maintain a high standard of housekeeping at workplace at all times.
Do not let your earlier efforts go in vain.
Institute periodic reviews.
Use visual control effectively.
5 S - Shitsuke = Sustain / Discipline
Discipline means making a steady habit of properly maintaining correct
procedures. The time and effort involved in establishing proper
arrangements will go in vain if we do not have discipline to maintain
them.
The seeds of workplace discipline should be planted by the leaders
who should be themselves committed to discipline.
Practicing - 5 S
Remember that with the value of your efforts you are creating a positive
image of yourself and your organization.
Treat your workplace as your own.
Develop and maintain healthy attitude and habits.
