Taking 5s a Step Further
The very process of 5S has been the foundation of so many Lean manufacturing efforts that one could probably lose count just taking stock of one company's 5S projects. Over the years, this technique has been used perfectly, and also not-so-perfectly – to put it lightly.
One of the biggest issues with 5S is that it is deceptively simple, and that it also seems like a one-off solution. To newbie or aspiring practitioners of workflow and Lean, these qualities are appealing. Unfortunately, they can also be quite misleading. In this blog post, there will be a conscious effort to debunk some of the myths of 5S and instead reinforce some of the best qualities and uses for this versatile organizational process.
In most in-depth explorations like this one, I don't like to get into too many of the basics of a technique, as the internet is literally scattered with brief write-ups that can tell you exactly that: the basics. This blog post, however, will be a bit of a hybrid. This is due to the fact that illustrating the pros and cons of various 5S techniques and approaches is vastly easier when they're shown as paired with a specific step in the process. For this reason, we'll utilize each of the 5S steps as its own category, within which we'll discuss various ideas and approaches to that particular step. Sound good? I hope so, because that's what I'm doing.
Sort
The first phase of 5S is to sort (sieri, in Japanese). In this phase, the 5S team is going to be taking every single item that's currently in an area away, and then sorting it. There are several ways in which this phase can be carried out, and it's often one of the most tangibly time consuming. How effectively you deal with the initial sort, however, will have a big impact on how effective your 5S effort is in the long term, and is the different between ongoing, harmonious organizational bliss and a quick relapse into disorganization and inefficiency. Obviously, most people have a preference as to which category they fall into.

What you SHOULD do when you sort:
Clearly define categories: One of the first things that will help to speed efforts along is having clearly set guidelines for sorting. Team members should be able to look an at item and, without much deliberation, figure out exactly where it should go.
First, you should always have a category for items that are used everyday/on a regular enough basis that they warrant returning to a space within the 5S'd project after completion. Next, you should have a category for items which are clearly garbage or that will be going away in one way or another. Items that are never, ever used, that are broken, or that are dated to the point of not being safe or useful to your workers should fall into this category.
These are your two extremes, but you will also have two middle categories. The first of the middle categories will be for items which are definitely used, but on an infrequent enough basis that they should probably have a less-prominent home where they won't get in the way of regular operations, which they won't be used in. The final category will be for items in a probationary period. Securecrt 8 1 2 – terminal emulation for it professionals. This may not seem useless to your team initially, but they're also obscure enough items, tools, or materials to not bring to mind any immediate use. After a set time period, items still not used that have been in the probationary pile will be removed entirely. The probationary pile is, unfortunately, often skipped but is an essential part of the sorting process because it stops items that really should be decided on later from just being tossed in the rubbish or 'keep it' pile under potentially false assumptions.
Visually map your categories with flood tape: Industrial floor tape, or another suitable tool, should be used to clearly map off category areas for your projects. Obscure areas or approximations in how your organizing efforts will be carried out undermine the principles of 5S. You can also make categories easy to remember by using visual color associations, red for the garbage pile, green for the frequently used pile, and yellow/orange for the probationary file, blue for the items that will be kept but moved to another location, etc. Free slots no money. You can always get creative here, but the key is to ensure workers can quickly get things sorted into their proper spaces. Esko studio web 14 0 1 visualizer download free.
Err on the side of caution: If you're having trouble deciding where to place an item, err on the side of caution and at least place it into the pile to be evaluated at a later date (probationary) that throwing it out. This is because it is obviously much less of a problem – and a much less costly one – to simply throw something out later if you don't use it, than to find out you do use it after it's too late and have to spend the price of a brand new replacement.
What you SHOULD NOT do when you sort:
Throw away everything in your garbage pile: Just because you no longer have a use for something doesn't mean that no one else will. In most places, taking a large load of items to the dump/landfill can also get quite expensive, totaling into the hundreds of dollars depending on the weight of the items taken. Keep costs down by looking for charities or other local businesses that would take the type of equipment you have to offer. Donating to charities will result in tax credits, and helping out local businesses can pay off in a favor or helpful business relationship down the road, you never know. Plus, going green and reducing waste out in the world often goes hand in hand with Lean's ideas of reducing waste in the business. While it may be in roundabout ways, wasteful habits in the outside world can result in costlier experiences down the road when environmental agencies set out their policy recommendations for the government.
Question decisions: Team members can deliberate briefly, but once and item is sorted don't waffle back and forth on its place too much. While we want to strive for accuracy here, mistakes at this phase will not usually be major ones – you've got time later to re-evaluate. As mentioned above, when in doubt, err on the side of caution and then quickly move onto then next item.
Set-In-Order
In the set-in-order, or seiton, phase of 5S, you're basically re-assembling the space that you removed items from for sorting originally. Now, only the items in your green/to-be-put-back area of the sort will find their way back into the space. However, this is a crucial phase that can determine whether your sorting was a waste of time or not in the first place. With all actions you take while replacing items in this phase, your focus should be on ensuring that the space is left in a condition conducive to more efficient operations than it was before. In order to accomplish this, let's take a look at some do's and don't's' of the set-in-order phase.
What you SHOULD do when you set-in-order:
Map out your space: It is important when you're setting items back into their places that you are careful and calculated. Throwing things back into a room or workstation after it has been 5S'd shouldn't be a quick endeavor. You want to make sure that you're actually improving on the original layout. For this, I suggest visually mapping out on a piece of paper what the room will look like.
Visually drawing up the space you have and sectioning it off on paper can help you appropriate adequate amounts of space for various item or material types, and stops you from running into unforeseen problems part way through. When you actually reach the room and start replacing items, you can also setup your floor tape and labeling materials to mimic the spaces you created in your drawing/mapping layout.
Group like items: Because this is your big chance to re-organize an area in a way that makes more sense than before, you'll want to think about categorizing. Oftentimes, items that are alike in a room or workstation can be grouped together to be easy to find. If you had a toolset with seven different screwdriver heads, you wouldn't hide them all over different corners or the room, would you? Think of everything you have in an area as a toolset and then group items together in a way that makes the most logical sense. For example, cleaning supplies may go in one area, while those associated with first aid live in another, and paper products live in yet another area.

Think of everything you have in an area as a toolset and then group items together in a way that makes the most logical sense. For example, cleaning supplies may go in one area, while those associated with first aid live in another, and paper products live in yet another area.
Use vertical space: Think of 5S as a total reinvention of an area. In imagining your space in this way, you can use spaces you hadn't before. For many, this means using pegboard and other materials to line the walls of an area and to increase storage room. But why stop there?! You can even take to the ceiling with various hooks and hanging racks when appropriate.
What you SHOULD NOT do when you set in order:
Get cheap on labeling: When creating new wall organizers and shelving categories in a space you're 5S'ing, it's easy to cut corners. One helpful habit for getting workers to carry on 5S into the future is to make sure that every area is well-labeled so that it is quickly apparent what kind of items go there. While some 5S teams may just skip the labeling process altogether, using flimsy, hand-written pieces of paper as labels can also be a problem.
Consider using an industrial label maker or similar device (such as this) that can print out clean, durable labels for your newly organized space. Touches like this also make a space really shine (which we'll get to in a second) and can help make a successful project a source of real pride for your team.
Shine
Hides 5 2 – Keep A Squeaky Clean Workspace Jpmc Employee
Shine, or seiso, is all about taking your newly organized space and really making it sing. At this point, you'll only have your necessary and most-used items back in the workspace, ready for their finishing touches. This phase can be combined with the set-in-order phase for maximum efficiency. For example, shelves are obviously easier to wipe down before items are places on them, so don't be such a stickler for the process that you make things harder on yourself.
What you SHOULD do when you shine:
Go green: Tired of hearing about going green? I hope not, because it is important! Luckily, getting a little more eco-friendly in the shine phase isn't very difficult, nor is it cost inhibitive. In fact, here are a few ways to make your shine efforts more green from LeanSixSigmaEnvironment.org
- Opt for cleaning products will 'little to no volatile organic compounds (VOC).' Because many people are cleaning during an event, make sure that if you do have to use harsher chemicals your employees are wearing the proper safety equipment (masks, gloves, etc.).
- 'Use old rags and cloth wipes, that can be cleaned and reused, instead of paper towels and cleaning wipes, that will end up in the landfill.'
- Laminate documents and employee notices that will be used both for the 5S project and that are going to be places up in the newly organized area. These documents will last as long as you need them, and save on the need for constant re-printing of materials.
- When retouching walls or other areas, opt for less/non-toxic paints for both the environmental benefits and for the safety of your team.
What you SHOULD NOT do when you shine:
Leave out the objects themselves: It's easy for a team to get so caught up in cleaning the space itself that they forget to make sure that everything going back into it is squeaky clean as well. For example, putting dirty, dusty tools back into a freshly swept and wiped down room or storage closet is going to obviously be counterproductive. Be sure to make sure that everything returned to the 5S'd area is not only worthy in terms of the usefulness of the object/material itself, but that it is also clean and, well, shined.
Standardize
In the standardize, or seiketsu, phase, you're hitting your first test phase. In this period of time, you're working to ingrain the system into the daily habits of your workers – both those explicitly on the 5S team and not – and keep benefits from being temporary.
What you SHOULD do when you standardize:
Incorporate 5S expectations into every employee's job description: ''If you want your work areas to remain swept, straightened, and shiny, expect each employee to leave them that they when they go home for the evening. This is best accomplished by (1) rewriting EVERY job description to include this expectation, (2) emphasizing this expectation in work group meetings, and (3) providing immediate performance feedback when a workplace does not meet the expectation at the end of a shift or day.'
This suggestion comes from Great Systems, and underscores the importance of workforce wide acceptance of 5S ideas. Oftentimes, if a specific team is the only one trained on how to handle 5S (or even what it is in the first place), their efforts can be eroded by interactions from those who simply haven't been trained.
Expect habits to form: Training sessions and individual evaluations/one-on-one sessions are the only way you're going to help people get used to any kind of Lean habits, including 5S. Work closely with your employees and make learning easy on them, rather than leaving them with hands-off materials like books and training pamphlets. It's generally observed that forming new habits can take 3-6 weeks of daily repetition, so close guidance within this time person will likely be essential.
Sustain
The sustain part of the process is both simple in its appearance, but can be difficult in execution. If you've done your setup in the previous four steps successfully, however, then you've already taken the biggest steps toward ensuring that this final one is a success. Here, you're simply enforcing the habits formed while standardizing. https://river-belle-casino-pokeravid.peatix.com.
While there aren't as many 'do's' and items to avoid here specifically, it is important to instill the proper mindset about the project overall. While 5S may indeed be a 'project,' it should always be presented as part of a bigger scheme; the ingraining into habit of a 5S operation simply frees those involved up a bit to work on a new improvement project as soon as possible.
Lucky for you, you're already professionals, you I probably don't need to tell you that. But, hey, a reminder never hurts. What have you found to be the most effective methods for ensuring that your 5S efforts stick? Do you do something that wasn't mentioned here? We'd love to hear about it!
