5S (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) is a simple yet powerful workplace organization method boosting safety, speed, and quality. By decluttering and standardizing workstations, companies reduce search times, prevent accidents, and improve morale.
Proven Results
A Nigerian packaging facility achieved a 20% decrease in workplace incidents and a 25% improvement in task completion speed within three months of 5S implementation.
Implementation Steps
Start by involving operators in sorting unnecessary items, labeling tools, and daily cleaning routines.
The 5S Framework
- Sort: Remove unnecessary items from the workplace
- Set in order: Organize and label everything clearly
- Shine: Clean and inspect regularly
- Standardize: Create consistent procedures
