Tools Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
What do we attach red tags to ? • Red tag anything that is not needed ! • In manufacturing departments that means checking stock, machines, equipment, particular locations such as shelves , etc. • In clerical departments it includes documents, stationery and machines . • However, you should never ever red tag people, even if you are sometimes tempted to!
Key Indicators • Indicators of success • Decrease in unnecessary items and reserved stocks • Reduction in sq.ft area consumed • Checklist – • Do you find items scattered in your workplace? • Are the boxes ,papers and other items left in a disorganized manner? • Are there equipment and tools on the floor ? • Are all items sorted out and placed in designated spots? • Are tools and stationary properly sorted and stored ?

2nd ‘S’ – Seiton or Set In Order • It aims at arranging the necessary items in proper order so that they can be easily picked up for use • Steps for Seiton • Systematic Arrangement is a form of standardization • 3 Keys are the basic rules for Storage • Fixing Position • Fixing Quantity • Signs for Storage of Work-in Progress
Systematic Arrangement KEYWORD 3 POINTS 3 KEYS • Can see • Can take out • Can return • Where?.. Fix position • What? …Fix items • How many? Fix quantity - Anybody - Immediately 3 KEYS It answers the question What items are to be kept ,where and in how much quantity ?
Rules for Storage • Search – Free • Count – Free • Air – Free • Climb – Free • Bend – Free • First – In, First – Out • Heavy/ Tall Things On Bottom Shelves • Fast Moving Materials Close To Point-of-use/ Point-of-issue • Adequate Lighting • Adequate Ventilation
Fixing Position Block tables Street numbers Address of bin: A32=Block A, Street 3, House 2 House numbers
Fixing Quantity • Limit the size of storage places and shelves. • Clearly indicate minimum and maximum stock quantities : Maximum – red Minimum – Green • A mark is better than numbers. • Quantity should be clear at a glance , without the need for counting.
Rules for deciding where: Usage frequencyRules for deciding where 1. Every day - Within “Prime Real Estate” of User (exclusive use) 2. Occasionally -Within the gemba (to be shared by people at the gemba) 3. Seldom -Within the company/unit (to be shared by all in company) • Avoid use of horizontal surfaces for hand tools and light material generally not applicable to direct material. • Each piece of an item should be kept separately, as far as practicable. • Introduce Kanban cards to facilitate re-ordering in stores.
Tools • For Eg. Colour coding for files/tools, tool organizer to organize tools, shelf colour/tagging etc. • The purpose of 5S Seiton is to find a place for everything within your working area, everything should be located as close as possible to where it is needed and at a location that is both safe and easily reached • Following are few eg.
Examples After Before
Search Time Elimination Fan & Electrical Switches Identified
Shadow Boards Only shadow .. Empty board Shadow board with tools

Seiton • Success Indicator • Reduction in handling/searching time • Checklist • Are passage ways and storage places clearly indicated? • Are commonly used tools and stationery separated from those seldom used? • Are containers and boxes stacked up properly? • Are fire extinguishers and hydrants readily accessible? • Are there grooves, cracks or bumps on the floor which hinder work or safety?
3rd ‘S’- Seiso or Shiny Clean up 1/2 • Clean your workplace so that there is no dust. In workplace, it becomes easy to trace leaks, cracks etc. • This stage has two goals: • Determine and gain agreement on the desired level of cleanliness • Learn how to make new routines so this will become standardized (in the Seiketsu stage) • Several questions help this stage to be more than just "polish until it shines for inspection": • How much cleanliness is required for safety, for ease of use, and to minimize equipment breakdown? • How clean should the environment be for comfort and morale?
Seiso 2/2 • How will cleanliness improve product quality? • While cleaning, do we notice maintenance issues that should be addressed? Cleaning Targets • Surroundings • Equipment • Storage Areas
Surroundings : What to Clean ? • Floors • Work areas • Aisles • Walls • Pillars • Ceilings • Windows • Rooms • Electric Lights
Maintaining A Spotless Workplace • Are there any unnecessary items around you ? • Are all files & folders immediately accessible ? • Is cleaning done every morning ? • Is clearing up done every day after work ?
Consolidating Daily Cleaning Procedures • The purpose of cleaning is to get rid of all dust and dirt and keep the workplace spotless. • Do you clean your workplace every day? • Decide what to clean. • Decide who is in charge of each cleaning task. • Decide on cleaning methods. • Prepare cleaning tools and equipment. • Implement cleaning.
Identifying abnormality during Shine • After the cleaning is done, special care should be taken: • 1. To reorganize problem areas • 2. Fix equipment that may be leaking • 3. Take steps necessary to ensure that the problem will not persist in the future.

Seiton • Indicators of Success • Reduction in machine downtime • Increased life of machine parts • Reduction in number of accidents • Reduction in rejection/rework • Checklist • Are the floor surfaces dirty ? • Are machines and equipment dirty? • Are wires and pipes dirty or stained? • Are machine nozzles dirtied by lubricants and ink ? • Are shades, light bulb and light reflectors dirty?
4th ‘S’- Seiketsu or Standardize • This phase draws on the notes from the Seisostage • A practical target is to have all workers take five minutes every day to tidy up after themselves including the time to complete and sign the checklists • By dividing the work among all the employees: • No-one has a huge burden • No-one seems unproductive • Morale improves because everyone has a common purpose • Supervisors should monitor compliance with Seiketsu. The checklists make this both important and achievable.
What Is To Be Standardised • Workstation layout, work area layouts. • Work in Process (WIP). • Sequence of work. • Cycle time of work . • Material and tools used. • Machines and their process parameters. • Quality parameters, methods of measurement, reaction plan and reporting method. • “ What, Where, When, Who & How ” of work .
Methodology to practice ‘4S’ • Preparation of S.O.P.( Standard Operating Procedure) for all the activities to be carried out to maintain 1S,2S, & 3S. • Following areas shall be covered while preparing S.O.P. : • Machine & Equipment maintenance. • Manufacturing Processes maintenance. • Work Place maintenance. • Quality Standards and Procedures maintenance.
