Anitech 5S Implementation Manual
Over the last decade that Anitech has been assisting client
companies install lean manufacturing cost reduction initiatives, the
one common element that has differentiated the successful from the
not so, has been the degree to which management has bought into
and enthusiastically deployed a meaningful 5S program and
sustained it throughout their transformation process.

Anitech 5S Implementation Manual
Chapter One
Getting Started
What is 5S?
5S is a systematic approach that streamlines the work
environment, helping companies achieve and maintain a competitive
edge in today’s global economy. It is highly cost effective, can be
implemented in virtually all work situations and locations.
5S is foundational for today’s companies that need to
function in a real-time manufacturing environment. Just-in-time,
flow, cell, and pull production techniques, for example, require a 5S
foundation to ensure success.
The 5S’s stand for: Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize and
Sustain. They are a stepwise, sequential method for organizing the
workplace to improve quality and efficiency, meet deadlines, reduce
waste, and create a safer and more pleasant working environment.

How can you get the most benefit from this book?
Learning in the same environment where the initial pilot
deployment will occur is ideal. The pilot implementation of this
system should be made in the actual environment in which the full
5S system will be eventually deployed. After pilot deployment,
continue with the next chapter.
Budget constraints sometimes prevent a company from
utilizing the expertise of an external specialist. In such cases, an
“internal specialist” who has learned the concepts of the 5S system
and has gained an understanding of how to apply them through this
book and possibly the accompanying 5S on-line course Anitech
offers, can be certified through the accompanying assessment tests.
How can you get even more benefits from this training
material?
Read, learn, assess and deploy a chapter at a time. After
reading a chapter, for a complete learning experience, go on-line and
take the accompanying 5S assessment test associated with that
chapter. If your score is 85% or higher, undertake the activities
outlined. Do not continue with the second chapter until pilot area
implementation has been made. If your score is under 85%, study
those areas in which your performance indicates more attention and
then retake the test. Completing this process will result in 5S
certification of expertise.
If you don’t remember all of the material the first time you
read a chapter, you can obtain a one-year license that allows you to

that they don’t need it. They may not initially see the benefits. They
may have tried this or another system in the past and failed to sustain
it -“we tried it and it doesn’t work”. A less apparent obstacle may
be the belief that this is “somebody else’s problem”.

what is needed from what is not, and GET RID of everything you
don’t need.

Anitech 5S Implementation Manual
Some people will be overjoyed to learn that you’ve decided to get rid
of those things they’ve been reaching over, stepping around,
searching behind or under for months or years. They’ve probably
been frustrated or annoyed more than once by unneeded items in
their work area.
Others may not know what all the fuss is about when the new
5S campaign is announced. They’re so used to the clutter that they
don’t even see it any more. They may be less enthusiastic about the
launching of the new 5S campaign, however. They’ll want to know
what it’s all about, how it affects them, and how it’s going to benefit
them. They’ll become convinced through good communication
before and during the 5S implementation, by becoming involved in
the improvement process themselves, and by experiencing the
improvements first hand.

Once you’ve formed your team and are ready to take the first
step, how do you decide what to do with all those things
accumulated in the workplace?
In the next steps, we’ll ask of what remains in the work area,
do we need it today?

Red Tagging
The red tagging process identifies and clears out all unneeded
items that have collected. During the 5S implementation, methods
will be instituted to keep this kind of clutter from building up again
in the future. There may be items in the work area that are
unidentified. Workers may not know what they are, how or when (if
ever) they are used, or why they were placed there in the first place.
To find the answers to those questions, personnel from the entire
facility, division, department, or office need to be involved. A simple
and effective way to obtain their input is through the red tagging
system.

5S training, and participate at some level in its full pilot deployment.
The Red Tag team’s attitude and success will be invaluable to the
efforts of the overall 5S implementation. Their enthusiasm and news
