Sorting is the first step in keeping the work area tidy systematise: is to 'organize'. Arrange and identify everything in a work area for the most efficient and effective retrieval and return to its proper place. Commonly used tools should be readily available. Storage areas, cabinets and shelves should be properly labelled. Clean and paint floors to make it easier to spot dirt, waste materials and dropped parts and tools. Outlined areas on the floor to identify work areas, movement lanes, storage areas, finished product areas, etc. Shadows of tool boards, making it easier to quickly see where each tool belongs. sweep: is regular cleaning and is associated with inspecting while cleaning the machines, tools, equipment and supplies you work with. standardisation: is the 'simplification' of work practices. This involves the use of labels and signs, posters and banners to make people aware of, and remind them about the standards. self-discipline: is to encourage and reinforce self discipline through having a formal system of monitoring the results of the Five S program. |
