Objections
We’ve tried this before.
We don’t have time.
It wont’ stay clean and organized.
I know where everything is!
What’s so great about organization?

1st S ---- Sort out
What to look for
Broken or deteriorated items, dusty items, items
with no clear location, items loose in drawers,
outdated signs and notices, unused management
boards, outdated posters and slogans, returned
goods, scrap, over-runs, jobs that have been
sitting for a long time.
Items that are rarely used.
Items with a quantity on hand much larger than
will soon be used.

Ask 5 why’s
The 5 why’s is a way of thinking to find the base
cause of a problem, rather than a symptom.

Red Tag Project
Is item needed? Is it needed only infrequently? Is
there too much on hand? If any of those conditions
are true, then flag the item with a red tag.
Fill out and attach red tag.
Red tag for one week.
Target: 5 red tags for every employee.
For general piles of junk, apply one red tag. Don’t try to
itemize.
Ch-3 5s 16
5s Holding Area
Set up a holding area for temporarily locating red
tagged items.
Transfer red tagged items to holding area daily.
Arrange for assistance to remove very large items.
This is a protection against removal of items that may be
mistakenly identified as unneeded.
No item will be permanently removed until it is thoroughly
evaluated.
Ch-3 5s 17
Evaluation process
Create an evaluation team to disposition red
tagged items.
Sell.
Return to vendor.
