LEAN Manufacturing

Lean manufacturing techniques are used

to increase profitability by reducing costs.

Lean manufacturing is manufacturing

methodologies based on maximizing

value and minimizing waste in the

manufacturing process.

Lean manufacturing employs a pull

through system to minimize waste and

improve efficiencies.

What is 5S?

5S is the name of a workplace organization

method

Developed in Japan

Utilized by Toyota and other automobile

manufacturers

Before 5S…

Scrounge

Steal

Stash

Scramble

Search

5S – in a nutshell!

Where do we start?

1. Red Tag items – Are there items that

are collecting dust?

2. These items are moved to a hold

area for disposition.

3. Once the items are approved for

disposal, get rid of them!

THE BIGGEST ENEMY TO 5S IS

PROCRASTINATING!!!

5S - Sort

Sort – Go through the affected area and look

for things that are needed, and things that

are not.

5S - Straighten

Straighten – Create

places for the items

within that area.

Make sure to label

their “home” or

create

shadowboards if

needed

Shadowboards and Housekeeping

5S - Shine

Shine – Deep clean

the area. Get rid of

all unnecessary

items.

5S - Standardize

Standardize – make 5S a habit! If you make a

checklist or have a documented procedure and

follow it daily, it WILL become a habit in a short

amount of time.

5S - Sustain

Keeping the

practice going.

After you have

established

procedures, you

need to keep

them going.

5S Implementation

Implementation is huge! Make sure you

have support from your leadership team

before implementing a 5S program

Educate everyone in your facility

– Let them know why we are implementing the

program and give them time for discussion

The “6th S”

Should safety be considered a part of any 5S

program? ABSOLUTELY!

– It never hurts to remind people of safety

How does Safety apply to 5S?

Of the 5 areas in 5S, Safety ties to all of

them!

– Cleaner workplace

– Organization

– Anyone is able to find what they are looking for

– A place for everything and everything in it’s place!
