Shitsuke. 5S is a very popular productivity improvement program in Japan
today, and is becoming popular in many other countries for the following solid reasons, the workplace becomes clean and better organized,results are visible to everyone - insiders and outsiders, visible results enhance the generation of more, and new ideas, people are naturally disciplined, operations on the shop-floor and office become easier and safer, people become proud of their clean and organized workplace and as a result the company s good image generates more business.
First is sorting. Sorting is the process that involves selecting what you need to complete the job and removing everything else from your work area. Second is set, arrange remaining items so they are easy to select, use and return to their proper location . Third is shine. Shining is powerful because its purpose is to find the reason why things become dirty. Emphasis is on the removal of dust, dirt and grime to reveal the source and eliminate it. And then standardize. Standardizing creates are work are free from checklists, if good standards are put in a place it will easier to maintain and continue improving. Last but not least is sustain. Sustaining is the end result of how well we have performed the previous S's. In sustainment stage, thinks of ways to eliminate effort in maintaining an area. I was learned the principle of 5's and then try to practice it in the company. At the end of the month, the person in charge will check every department to give mark on the use of 5's.
After I learned the principle of 5's, they gave another task related to the concept. First of all, I arrange the file in a proper manner to make it easier to them to find the data. And then, I creates a labels to the file and all the things in this offices. It make them to find the things they want in a easier ways. By the end of this week, I found that the office environment change a little bit after all the principle of 5's are adapted.
