Study Notes
5S Implementation
- Store tools and manuals close to the point of use to facilitate equipment return to its designated location after use.
- Keep the floor clear by storing items off the floor whenever possible.
- Conduct motion and ergonomic studies to determine the optimal location of tools and equipment for each task.
Quantity Management
- Set limits on quantities for tools, equipment, raw materials, and office products to maintain optimal stock levels.
Marking Locations
- Determine the best locations for tools and equipment and mark them clearly to ensure everyone knows where items are located and what goes where.
5S at the Office
- Implementing 5S at the office leads to sustainable workplace organization and improved productivity.
Benefits of 5S
