The 5S System is a series of activities designed to improve workplace organization and standardization. Standardization in the workplace simplifies everyday activities leading to time-saving improvements. The 5S activities include:
• Sort through all items and remove unneeded items
• Set in Order all remaining items, set limits, create temporary location indicators
• Shine or clean everything and use cleaning as inspection
• Standardize the first 3 S’s by implementing visual displays and controls
• Sustain the gains through self-discipline, training, communication, and total employee involvement
Workshop Objectives
This is a full day workshop that covers the basic 5S system (Sort, Set-in-Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain). Participants apply each “S” to a simulated factory and measure the results of their efforts and experience first hand how the 5S system reduces waste and improves productivity and quality. This group training exercise is designed to precede a 5S implementation, or Kaizen event.
• Understand the difference in workplace appearance and functionality before and after the 5S process has been applied
• Develop skills needed to perform an in-depth audit of workplace organization and standardization
• Become skilled at applying the concepts of sort, set-in order and shine in order to organize a workplace
• Learn to standardize and sustain procedures to maintain and control an organized workplace using visual controls
• Recognize how 5S can help to improve workplace environmental health and safety.

Kaizen Implementation Event
IMEC will facilitate a group of your employees through the 5S process, implementing the techniques learned in the workshop. Normally, everything cannot be implemented during the two or three day Kaizen event. Therefore, the team will develop an action plan with assigned responsibilities and expected completion dates to insure that the necessary follow-up takes place.
Benefits of the 5S System
• Improved quality
• Achieve work standardization
• Decreased changeover time
• Improved safety
• Reduced storage costs
• Reduced cycle time
• Reduced machine down time
• Boost employee morale as well as work environment
