5S – Lean Environment Techniques
The name “5S” used for Japanese workplace organization methodologies comes from
five Japanese words:
Seiri
(Sorting
or Housekeeping) - Maintain only the essential items. Store or discard
everything else.
Seiton
(Straightening
or Workplace Organization) - arrange (tools, equipment, supplies) in order that
follows the flow of work (i.e. what needed and when needed only, in a handy
position) – a right place for everything and everything in the right place.
Seiso
(Sweeping, Shining, Cleaning or Cleanup) - keep the workplace continuously
clean and neat. Maintaining cleanliness improves morale, makes better
environment, prevents defects, improves safety, etc.
Seiketsu
(Standardizing) - Standardized work practices result in consistency,
efficiency, reproducibility, maintain quality, set foundations for continuous
improvement.
Shitsuke
(Sustaining or Discipline) – maintaining continuously all the above. Do not
allow for deterioration of good practices, allow for changes resulting from
continuous improvement only.
Note: some practices add 6th ”S” element such as Western “safety”
or Japanese “sukam” (habit). Both seem to increase emphasis and add extra
focus to the philosophies defined above. 5S creates and maintains an organized,
user-friendly workplace, with improved workplace morale, safety and efficiency.
5S defines not only what should be kept and where, but also how it should be
stored and how to maintain the new rules. Properly defined and implemented (with
consensus with all involved) 5S guidelines and rules engage employees through
giving them ownership of the process.
