Lean production: 5S

thingiverse

5S is an organizational method that optimizes workspace efficiency and effectiveness through five key Japanese principles: seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and shitsuke. Translated as "Sort", "Set In Order", "Shine", "Standardize", and "Sustain", these principles guide the process of identifying, storing, and maintaining essential items while sustaining newly implemented systems. Employee understanding of standardization emerges through collaborative dialogue, fostering a shared understanding of how tasks should be completed.
