5S

A system for maintaining workplace organization that is the foundation for visual management and lean production. 5S is one of the most powerful methods for delivering a positive return on investments. This is because every one of your employees performs thousands of tasks every week in each of their areas, and seconds saved from wasted work such as searching, waiting or walking add significantly to the bottom line. These small savings grow appreciably when multiplied by hundreds of people on the shop/office floor each day of the year. The 5 S’s are Sort, Store, Shine, Standardize, Sustain.
