5S Overview
Henry Ford had a similar notion called CANDO (Clean, Arrange, Neatness, Discipline, and Orderliness).
The 5s techniques should be used in conjunction with improving workplace layouts and creating manufacturing cells.
Managers and supervisors have to be vigilant to make sure the proper habits of workplace organization are created and maintained.

Attack shop floor mess
Shop floor is where value added activities take place. Organized and systemized work environments:
Improve process flow Make your job easier
The goal is to have essential items always in the same spot close at hand.
If there is space, it will get filled!
8
Why 5s
To eliminate the need to work around, walk around and trip over obstacles that aren’t needed in our jobs.
To shorten steps and reaching. To eliminate bending or stretching. To create a safer work environment. To reduce errors caused by excess tools and
material.
9
Why 5s
To minimize motion waste. To eliminate searching for tools. To organize all needed items for “stress-less
use.” To reduce “crowding.” To enable better organization of the items we do
need to do our jobs. Pride in the workplace. Customers perception: clean = quality.
10
Why Not 5s
We’ve tried this before. We don’t have time. It wont’ stay clean and organized. I know where everything is! What’s so great about organization? What’s in It for me?
Objections
Fighting old work habits

1st S ---- Sort out
When in doubt, red tag it out. Many years of accumulated tools, fixtures, shelves, benches,
material and information clog up our work.
Where to look: In corners, at edge of department, under conveyors and tables, on top of shelves, in cabinets, in desk drawers, in toolboxes, in the eaves, on the walls, next to pliers and partitions. At the bottom of stacks, in boxes that are not marked, locked away in lockers, behind rows of dies and jigs, in and around machinery.
12
1st S ---- Sort out
Broken or deteriorated items, dusty items, items with no clear location, items loose in drawers, outdated signs and notices, unused management boards, outdated posters and slogans, returned goods, scrap, over-runs, jobs that have been sitting for a long time.
Items that are rarely used. Items with a quantity on hand that is much larger
than required.
What to look for
13
1st S ---- Sort out
The item is needed. Why? But, it is rarely used. Why? It should be kept. Why? It should be placed there. Why? Is that a good place. Why?
Ask 5 why’s The 5 why’s is a way of thinking to find the base cause of a problem, rather than a symptom.
14
Red Tag Project Is item needed? Is it needed only infrequently? Is there too much on hand? If any of those conditions are true, then flag the item with a red tag.
Fill out and attach red tag. Red tag for one week. Target: 5 red tags for every employee. For general piles of junk, apply one red tag. Don’t try to
itemize.
15
5s Holding Area Set up a holding area for temporarily storing red tagged items.
Transfer red tagged items to holding area daily. Arrange for assistance to remove very large items. This is a protection against removal of items that may be
mistakenly identified as unneeded. No item will be permanently removed until it is thoroughly
evaluated.
Deliver the red tagged items to the holding area for evaluation.
16
Evaluation process Create an evaluation team to disposition red tagged items.
Possible dispositions of red tagged items: Throw away. Sell. Return to vendor. Use somewhere else in company.
Evaluate every item and evaluate the results of removal.
17
2nd S ---- Set in Order
Empty spaces have been created by 1St S activities
How can equipment and materials be rearranged for:
Less walking? Less bending, climbing, stretching, reaching? Less searching? Less obstacles to a consistent flow?
Think “big picture” and “little picture”.
18
2nd S ---- Set in Order
Draw a picture of Current Condition Examine flow of material and information Look for opportunities to better arrange for
productivity Machinery operation and location Material placement Tools and jigs placement People locations Aisle locations

Reasons for Clean-up Safety is improved when dirt and oil are removed. Equipment will run more reliably. Out of place tools and material become obvious. Clean environment is better for morale.

3rd S ---- Shine
Regular Clean-up and Inspection are the keys. Set targets for clean-up. Allow 5 minutes each day to maintain targets. Assign specific areas. Keep tools for cleanliness at hand.
