Some good 5S Standards

[Community Manager]

Here is a list of good 5S standard practices taken from a fantastic new book from GBMP E2 Continuous Improvement System. 

 

• Make it clear what is needed and what is not needed
• Provide a means for red tagging and removing unneeded items on an ongoing basis
• Establish guidelines for signage and meanings for colors used in work areas
• Identify walk areas, dangerous conditions or danger zones
• Clarify home locations for material, information, equipment and supplies
• Outline expectations and frequency for cleaning and inspection activities in the area
• Ensure tools and supplies for maintaining 5S are located and available
