Clearly distinguishing between what is necessary and

what is unnecessary and disposing of the unnecessary6

• Always start by sorting all items from the work area

• Use the red tagging process for items that you are unsure of

• Asking why enables the sorting process; For example –

• Why do we need it?

• Why is it used the way it is?

• Why do we have the same thing in many areas?

• If we need it, Why does it not have a home?

• An “item” can be material or information

Sort – The Process

• Organizing the necessary items so that they can

be easily identified and used as needed

– First decide where all items should be so that the

organization is easy to use and understand

– Choose proper storage methods that minimize inventory and

promote visual management

– Visually indicate locations so items in use can be returned

and missing items are easily identified

– Make sign boards that clearly explain inventory, equipment,

and other items so anyone can understand the workplace

Continuously maintaining and improving the

standards of the first 3 S’s

• While the first 3 S’s are activities, the 4th S is a process

that facilitates the maintenance and improvement of

the first three S’s

– Eliminate causes of dirt, leaks, and spills

– Create systems to keep things neat and organized

– Have daily routine to manage abnormal conditions

– Use standard documentation to drive consistency

Standardize

The 4th S relies on documentation, visual controls and

standard routines to drive results

Achieving the discipline and habit of maintaining the 5S+ as

part of our company culture

• Everyone has to accept 5S+ as a personal goal to be successful

• People Follow Examples (Good and Bad); Set a Good Example

• Sustainment is driven on a day to day basis

• By doing this correctly we become world class

• No longer cleaning for tours and everyday having safe, clean,

and world class environment should be our goal
