APPLYING 5S TO OUR ATTITUDE SYSTEM AND PLACE AN EMOTION ON IT.

5S 

-is the name of a workplace organization method that uses a list of five Japanese words: seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and shitsuke. Transliterated  into Roman script, they all start with the letter "S". 

The list describes how to organize a work space for efficiency and effectiveness by identifying and storing the items used, maintaining the area and items, and sustaining the new order. The decision-making process usually comes from a dialogue about standardization, which builds understanding among employees of how they should do the work.

One of the methods of determining an organisations approach to its business is to evaluate its workplace organisation capability & visual management standards.

5S engages people through the use of 'Standards' and ‘Discipline'.

It is not just about housekeeping, but concentrating on maintaining the standards & discipline to manage the organisation - all achieved by upholding & showing respect for the Gemba [workplace] every day.

The 5 Steps are as follows:

·         Sort: Sort out & separate that which is needed & not needed in the area.

·         Straighten: Arrange items that are needed so that they are ready & easy to use. Clearly identify locations for all items so that anyone can find them & return them once the task is completed.

·         Shine: Clean the workplace & equipment on a regular basis in order to maintain standards & identify defects.

·         Standardise: Revisit the first three of the 5S on a frequent basis and confirm the condition of the Gemba using standard procedures.

·         Sustain: Keep to the rules to maintain the standard & continue to improve every day.

Benefits of 5S workplace organization

5S relates to workplace organisation and forms a solid foundation upon which many organisations base their drive for continuous improvement. It is equally applicable & successful in all sectors helping to achieve high impact results.

It is a systematic and methodical approach allowing teams to organise their workplace in the safest and most efficient manner.

The discipline to check & repair equipment is included & adopted. The entire process is managed through the use of team generated audit documents, completed on an agreed frequency by responsible owners within the Gemba.

Summary

·         Improved safety

·         5S becomes a fundamental business measure & key driver for Kaizen

·         Forms a solid foundation upon which to build continuous improvement

·         Employees gain a sense of ownership, involvement & responsibility

·         Reduction in waste – as defined by Ohno’s seven forms of waste

·         Improved performance in productivity, quality & morale leads to increased profitability

  Hence,

5 s is reliant on the person that want changes in his life and sustain the good changes he had been made. Even, if 5 S is successful in Japan and in other countries and companies whom it was implemented; 5 s will no longer a success if we in our self will not change the emotions and attitude within us. Give them the true directions, and learn to control them.

GIVE YOURSELF A VALUE: Make it moral values.

Valuing one’s self is as good as valuing the love God has given you. For he who love himself I God’s manner is a man of God. So, whether it is a social or aesthetic value, ethical or doctrinal whatever good values you have if it was done in God’s way, it will be acceptable to people who value the values God set on us.
