5S Activities Sign

The successful launch of your 5S campaign is determined by your level of employee involvement and their continued commitment to 5S. The initial stage of your campaign, prior to any sorting or red tagging, is the awareness and educational stage. We have designed an entire suite of 5S visuals for your workplace. Regardless of your sector or facility type, our 5S visuals are designed to be clearly understood by all.

Kick off your 5S awareness program with this multi coloured 5S steps visual. The artwork is designed to grab attention and educate.

The 5 Esses

There are five primary 5S phases: sorting, set in order, systematic cleaning, standardising, and sustaining.

Sorting

Eliminate all unnecessary tools, parts, and instructions. Go through all tools, materials, and so forth in the plant and work area. Keep only essential items and eliminate what is not required, prioritising things per requirements and keeping them in easily-accessible places. Everything else is stored or discarded.

Straightening or Setting in Order

Arranging tools, parts, and instructions in such a way that the most frequently used items are the easiest and quickest to locate. The purpose of this step is to eliminate time wasted in obtaining the necessary items for an operation.

Sweeping or Shine

Clean the workspace and all equipment, and keep it clean, tidy and organised. At the end of each shift, clean the work area and be sure everything is restored to its place. This makes it easy to know what goes where and ensures that everything is where it belongs.

Standardising

All work stations for a particular job should be identical. All employees doing the same job should be able to work in any station with the same tools that are in the same location in every station. Everyone should know exactly what his or her responsibilities are for adhering to the first 3 esses. Synonym : Systemise

Sustaining the Practice

Maintain and review standards. Once the previous 4 esses have been established, they become the new way to operate. Maintain focus on this new way and do not allow a gradual decline back to the old ways. While thinking about the new way, also be thinking about yet better ways. When an issue arises such as a suggested improvement, a new way of working, a new tool or a new output requirement, review the first 4 esses and make changes as appropriate. It should be made as a habit and be continually improved.
