Best Way to Implement 5S

After reading this book you will master the incredible skill of 5S which would lead you to better productivity for your organization Generally, it is said that 5'S System is good for the manufacturing industry only, but it is not true. 5'S is equally applicable to all the three wealth creation industries e.g. Agriculture, Manufacturing and Service Industry.Forty years ago, researchers started studying the secret behind the success of Japanese manufacturing companies. They observed that the Implementation of 5'S turned out to be the most impressive "secret". These companies were so well organized that abnormal situations were readily apparent. 1.When the new customer comes in our factory his eyes are fixed on the visibility of the entire organization.2. The first impression of the customer is created by looking at types of machinery and the flow of material in the plant.If we don't maintain the plant in an orderly manner, it is very difficult for Customers to believe in the quality of our product. The visibility of the plant gives a clear picture of the discipline maintained by the plant people. If the basic disciplines are not maintained by the team then it is very difficult for the Customer to believe in the Supplier quality of the product as well as respond to quality issues. 3.As per my own counseling tenure, I have seen that the search time of getting the required tools are very high due to poor 5'S in the plant.4. The poor 5'S takes a lot of valuable time from the operator/ working staff which leads to the low productivity of our employees. To be a competitive organization, search time of getting tools, documents or files should be less than 30 seconds.5. Good 5'S Leeds safe working environments of the plant which leads to a reduction in an accident in the plant.6. The employee morale is always better in the organization where 5'S is maintained as compared to the organizations where 5'S is not implemented.7. People feel better about their work area and take pride and ownership in the results.8. It becomes easy for an individual to work in a visual atmosphere by identifying what, where and how much they need any items or tools.
