5S is a set of principles of organization and order in the workplace, widely used to improve efficiency
with Our Coaching
Each "S" represents a stage in this process:
1. **Seiri (Classification):** It involves separating the essential from the non-essential in the work area, eliminating unnecessary items and organizing the essential items efficiently.
2. **Seiton (Order):** It consists of assigning a specific place for each essential item and labeling them clearly, so that it is easy to find and access what is needed.
3. **Seiso (Cleaning):** Requires keeping the workplace clean and free of clutter, not only superficially, but also by carrying out regular cleaning and eliminating the root cause of the dirt or mess.
4. **Seiketsu (Standardization):** It involves establishing standards and procedures to maintain the first three "S" (Classification, Order and Cleanliness) consistently over time. It is about creating an orderly and clean work culture.
5. **Shitsuke (Discipline):** Reinforces the importance of maintaining discipline in the application of 5S. This means following established norms and standards, and promoting a mindset of continuous improvement throughout the organization.
5S is an effective tool for increasing efficiency, reducing waste and improving quality in a variety of work environments, from manufacturing to services and administration.
