5S is a method to improve and sustain workplace organization
5S represents 5 disciplines for maintaining a visual workplace (visual controls and
information systems).
These are foundational to continual improvement and a manufacturing strategy
based on "Lean Manufacturing" (waste removing) concepts.
Reduces clutter
Reduces the time it takes to look for tools and equipment
“A place for everything and everything in its place”
Improves how the operation appears to customers – always be “tour ready”
Creates pride in the workplace
Many companies have a standard that any tool must be able to be found within 60
seconds.
