What is 5S?
Syacho (Boss)!
(Some will relate this to Please have a
purely housekeeping) look at my
master piece!

5S is not to produce aesthetic effects to impress others


Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia
5S is an organized group
activity

In most 5S activities we observe:

The negatives, the positives


and there is very little, or no
Catalyst to the 5S activity.

The Negatives
1. 5S is not equal to good housekeeping.
2. 5S is not to have general cleaning because of VIP
or boss of head quarter will be visiting.
3. 5S is not to display aesthetics and sweep the
unwanted under carpet.
4. 5S is not the work of a single person.
5. 5S is not a short time blossom and short term work.
6. 5S is not used to cover up problems, weaknesses
and abnormalities (improper work aspects).

The Positives
1. 5S is a Kaizen starter. It is the initial efforts to realize
orderliness at workplace for work betterment.
2. 5S is a team-work activity with involvement of a
leader, team members, *PICs, department heads,
managers, supervisors & the concerns.
3. 5S is a continual improvement activity.
4. 5S exposes existing and potential problems.
5. 5S creates awareness, disciplinary values, sense of
responsibility and sense of belonging.
6. 5S provides education and cultivates the habits of
following established procedures.
[* PIC = Person In Charge]

The Catalyst (Visual management = mieruka)
1. VM provides warning, references, indication, bench marking
study, labeling and information to all concerned.
2. VM is used to clearly differentiate normal situation and
abnormal situation, urging for continual improvement.
3. VM is used to show the progress, the deviation of actual from
standard: its cause & effect & the consequent actions.
4. VM is a list up. It provides:
a) Awareness effect
b) Focusing effect
c) Tracking effect
d) Displaying effect
e) Broadcasting effect
f) Educating effect

5S: An Effective Cure to Problems 2/2

 A company is just like human body. It has to be


maintained (5S) to its best condition!

Let’s practice
5S and remain
at tip-top all
the time.

Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia


Key Points of 5S
5S is an organized group activity:
 5S = 3S + 2S ( = S1, S2, S3 + S4, S5 )

= Seiri, Seiton, Seiso + Seiketsu, Shitsuke


(Methodology aspect) (Activity sustaining aspect)

With the additional of an


indispensable catalyst:
Visual management (VM)

Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia


Methodology Aspects

The first 3S:


S1 = Seiri, S2 = Seiton, S3 = Seiso

Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia


The First S is Seiri (S1 = 整理)

S1 = Seri is the approach to raise


work efficiency

Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia


S1 = Seiri: Approach to raise work
efficiency
Seiri is to perform clearing up (sort) activities with
group participation.
 Step 1: Sort out wanted items and unwanted items.

 Step 2a: Dispose off (send for treatment) the


unwanted items
 Step 2b: Provide streamlined, safe and proper
storage conditions for wanted items.

Failure: Seiri is to rearrange and re-stack existing


items in a proper manner.
Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia
S1 = Seiri: Approach to raise work
efficiency
Seiri involves Classification process.
Material
?
or items
You have to decide:
If not to dispose off --- it
will be troublesome to
Classification maintain its storage.
If dispose off --- the
reluctant feeling or
Wanted Not Wanted
the “sayang” feeling
is there.

Safe Keeping Dispose off

Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia


S1 = Seiri: Approach to raise work
efficiency
Purpose of having Seiri
Create valuable and safe working space.
1. Prevent mistakes: miss-usage, miss-handling,
miss-transport etc.
2. Prevent material deformation. Prevent dead
lock of fund and capital.
3. Create spacious feeling at work place.

Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia


The Second S is Seiton
(S2 =整頓)

S2 = Seiton is the approach to


systematic arrangement.

Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia


S2 = Seiton: The approach to
systematic arrangement.
Establish group activities to:
 Apply 3T: Tei-I (定位), Tei Ryou (定量), & Tei Hin (定品).
(3T: fixed position, fixed quantity and fixed article).
 Install appropriate systems to new situations after
Seiri (Such as: Securing FIFO, re-layout etc).
 Apply Visual Management (VM) extensively to all
items (problems & abnormalities can be identified at a glance).
 Items required should be within easy reach at all
times by every body, without search.

Failure: Seiton is to layout all item in orderly manners.


Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia
S2 = Seiton: The approach to
systematic arrangement.
Purpose of having Seiton:
1. Eliminate the unproductive “search time”.
2. Create and claim back valuable work space.
(Arrange in 3-dimension manner or
rationalize existing layout).
3. Compress stock quantity.
4. Create systematic, direct visual effect layout
(visual management) at work place.
Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia
S2 = Seiton: The approach to
systematic arrangement
Examples:
Make use of “Principles of motion economy”.
Example: Frequently used parts should be within
easy reach of 15 to 20 cm of hand motion (normal
working area).
Less frequently used items can be kept at cabinets at
production shop floor.
Seldom used or seldom referred items: to be packed
and arranged at a common place away from
production shop floor.
Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia
S2 = Seiton: The approach to
systematic arrangement.
Example: Apply the direct visual (see through) effect
(direct reading effect) to work place, expose
hidden problems.

Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia


S2 = Seiton: The approach to
systematic arrangement.
Example: Use of shadow board. Necessary items are so arranged, so that
they can be reached by all, at all times.

physically, and to discover all
inadequacy and potential problems.

Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia


S3 = Seiso: The approach to
enhance work quality.
1. Perform thorough cleaning in a systematic and
well planned manner, by everyone (Group activity).
2. Use various creative ideas to reach the odd
corners (M/c beds, top of racks etc).
3. Dangerous corners: Hire specialist cleaners
4. *Making use of thorough cleaning, discover any
existing & potential problems. Take quick
corrective and preventative actions.
Failures: Seiso is cleaning and good housekeeping.
Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia
S3 = Seiso: Cleaning, the approach

mitigation (take quick action) immediately.

Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia


S3 = Seiso (in details 3: The non
added value factor)
The act of thorough cleaning Seiso (S3).
1. Seiso is associated physically with
cleaning. This is a non value added factor
for operation management.
2. Thus Cleaning is an act which must be:
Improve → simplified → eventually
eliminate the need for cleaning.
(because: Cleaning is a non added value
factor).

Revision: First 3S: S1, S2 & S3

The first 3 S describe practical


methods that should be introduced,
when starting 5S activities.

Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia


Values of Seiri, Seiton & Seiso

Seiri, Seiton & Seiso prescribe actual working


aspects of the 5S, sometimes they are
referred to as “3S”.
Uniqueness of these 3S is group participation,
recognition of 3T and application of visual
management (VM) to the activities.
Repeated implementation and constant
reminder are necessary, especially at initial
stages.
Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia
The Forth S is Seiketsu
(S4 = 清潔)

This is:
 Perform standardization to observe ruling
and set-ups established through the last 3 S
activities.
 To appreciate the results established by
group efforts.
 To appreciate the sense of values of 5S.

Seiton and Seiso.
2. Take action from the source: Eliminate
generation of disorderliness, dust and dirt etc.
from the source.
3. Standardization: Establish standards
(requirements) to maintain 5S. Set procedure
rulings, use visual management to assist
execution of rulings.
Failure: Seiketsu is to maintain cleanliness, when
there is liquid or air leakages, just mend them.
Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia
The value of Seiketsu
Seiketsu is a display of “Team Beauty”  A step
ahead of the more materialistic Team Efforts.
-- Sense of belonging is a key to maintain cleanliness in Seiketsu
--

Note to the setting of standardization (ruling):


 It is not necessary to create sophisticated ruling.
 Rather, more importantly, is to establish
common ruling together (with participation of the
concerns).
 Ruling should be revised whenever necessary to
reflect continual 5S works.
Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia
The Fifth S is Shitsuke
(S5 = Shitsuke 躾)

8. Organizational Contribution of 5S.

4) 5S promotes standardization:
 5S requires everyone to follow procedure
rulings to carry out his work duty.
 5S makes procedures clear. Such
documentation provides easy reference and
material for learning & multi tasking.
 Standardization stabilizes process work,
process quality and processing cost.

Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia


8. Organizational Contribution of 5S.

5) 5S promotes work satisfaction and work moral:


 5S provides a clean, bright work environment.

 When employees start participating 5S & work


improvement activities, they will become more
eager to find out more about their own works and
the work moral will become better.
 Such work eagerness can create an atmosphere
for employee participation in Kaizen.

Visual Management
(mieru-ka)
An indispensable link to 5S

Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia


Visual Management
What is VM (qualitative):
 VM must have direct reading effect at single glance.

 Streamline layout with visibility & with extensive


usage of color codes, graphs, labels, graphics etc.
 VM provides clear and immediate contrast to
differentiate normal situation & abnormal situation.
VM is effective to:
 Expose hidden problems and abnormalities.

 Enable quick action for remedy.

 Express the work situation to ease Kaizen activities.

Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia


Relation of 5S & Visual Management (1/2)
Visual Management (VM) is indispensable for 5S:
 Involvement of group activities requires accurate
communication and common understanding and
observe efficiency achievement.
 VM’s exposure of problems & abnormalities is an
important integral of 5S.
 When normal and abnormal situations cannot be
distinctly differentiated, VM will not be able to be
implemented thoroughly. Then 5S will be retarded,
and eventually fail.

Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia


Relation of 5S & Visual Management (2/2)
Seiketsu (S4) and Shitsuke (S5) are needed to
create awareness: They put ruling to work and
sustain 5S with continual improvement.
 5S activities must observe group participation from
employees. VM complements such act with clear,
direct & educational information.
 VM provides a platform to display employee’s
efforts towards improvement and develop love for
the company.

Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia


Example: Usage of Visual Management 1/2
 Use VM for products, work-in-process,
materials, parts, J/T equipment, conveying
equipment, defectives, work-table, etc.
 Use VM for bulletin boards, electric signs,
bill boards, stickers, labels, boundary lines
etc.,
 Use VM in warehouse or storages to indicate
FIFO, inventory, obsoletes, damages, space
occupancy, extraordinary items,
nonconformities & stacking heights etc.
Persatuan Alumni AOTS Malaysia
Example: Usage of Visual Management 2/2
1. Use VM to enhance occurrence of wastes, WIP etc.
2. Use VM to indicate deviation from standard or point
of reference.
3. Use VM to indicate:
(1) Nature & background of problems, indicating:
・Normal & abnormal conditions (Pref: with actual samples).
・Difference between the target and results
・Difference between the standard and the fact
(2) Root cause of problems.
(3) Countermeasures, remedy, mitigation.
