- a system for organizing spaces so work can be
performed efficiently, effectively, and safely. This system focuses on putting everything where it belongs and keeping the workplace clean, which makes it easier for people to do their jobs without wasting time or risking injury. 1. SEIRI (SORT) - take out unnecessary items and dispose • NEVER KEEP ANYTHING WHICH IS UNNECESSARY TO YOUR WORK. • If you and your colleagues cannot decide whether an item is necessary or not, put DISPOSAL NOTICE with the data on the item and set item aside. • After a period, say two months, check if someone has the item or not. If no one needed the item, that means the item is not needed for your work. 2. SEITON (SYSTEMATIZE) - arrange necessary items in good order to use • Make sure that all unnecessary items are eliminated from your workplace. • put most frequently needed items close to the user so as to minimize the movement of the person. Things which are not so often used could not be placed slightly further away. • It is necessary to make sure that everyone at your workplace knows what is kept for efficient use. Make a list of things with location and put it in a locker or cabinet. Label each drawer/cabinet to show what is kept inside. 3. SEISO (SWEEP) - Clean your workplace - Accordingly, SEISO (SWEEP) should be practiced every day, and sometimes, even during the day. • Do not wait until things get dirty. Clean your workplace, including machines, equipment, tools and furniture regularly so that they do not have chance to get dirty. • You and your colleagues should be responsible for the dirty works around you. The janitors or sweepers will look after the common areas only. • Cleaning is also checking. 4. SEIKETSU (SANITIZE) - maintain high standard of housekeeping • Create a maintenance system for housekeeping. Make a schedule of cleaning for your workplace. • Interdepartmental competition is a very effective means of sustaining and enhancing people’s interest on 5Ss. • 1. Indicate the names of the persons responsible for the work area and for the machine. • 2. Regular inspection and evaluation on the level of 4Ss by each work are necessary. • 3. Do not criticize poor cases, but also praise and commend good practices or good performances. 5.SHITSUKE(SELF-DISCIPLINE) - do things spontaneously without being told or ordered - It is to make every one practice 4Ss spontaneously and willingly as habit or way of life. • Treat your workplace as your own home. • You are spending most of your WAKING TIME at your workplace than at home. • Your workplace is an important place where to make income for yourself and your family. • Make your workplace as clean and comfortable as your home.
