Lean Manufacturing 5s Improvements

Lean Manufacturing 5S is a system for creating and maintaining an organized, disciplined workplace. We usually use the terms Sort, Set In Order or Straighten, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain or self discipline. Sort entails removing all supplies, information, equipment, and materials from the work area that are not utilized regularly. Set In Order means organizing and making transparent all items that are needed for regular work so that they can be immediately accessed and used when needed with no delay. Shine means cleaning the workplace and daily restoring the workplace to its set in order status. Standardize means creating standards to ensure that Sort, Set In-Order, and Shine are applied consistently, and Sustain means creating a work environment or culture that maintains the discipline to keep the workplace organized and continuously improve it. The Lean Manufacturing 5S system is an ongoing way of doing work, not simply a 5 step process. It can be used in manufacturing, clinical, and administrative environments.
