Implementing a Five S Program

The Five S Program- sort, set in order, shine, standardize, sustain- is a fundamental and systematic method to ensure cleanliness and efficiency in the workplace. All types of businesses can benefit from implementing a Five S Program, including industrial and manufacturing companies, hospitals, stores, even those working out of office buildings. With cleaning services from Drayton Group Inc., your business can benefit from the Five S Program, too!

First Step of the Five S Program

The first step of the Five S Program is to sort through everything in the work area. Keep only what is necessary and being used, move misplaced items to storage or another area, and discard what is not needed or broken. By eliminating clutter the workspace, everything looks nicer and is easier to find. Efficiency is improved by removing things that are in the way of getting the job done, identifying things that need to be repaired or replaced, and enabling identification of problems more quickly in the future.

Step Two of the Five S Program

Step two of the Five S Program is to set everything in order, or organize. Now that you have sorted and separated your tools, books, papers, etc. into the proper work areas, everything needs to be arranged in an easy-to-maintain order. One of the key components to efficiency in the workplace is that it is easy to identify, retrieve and replace what is needed. Everything has a place in individual work areas and overall throughout the facility.

Step three, shine, requires regular cleaning now that everything has been sorted and organized. Depending on the state of your workplace, this may be a big step when first implementing the Five S Program. Drayton Group Inc. offers facility cleaning services to help ensure a clean and sate work environment for you and your employees. Daily cleaning makes it possible to inspect your machines, tools and equipment for problems, and your supplies for shortages. If you catch the problem while it is small, it is much easier and quicker to fix.

Educating Employees About the New Standards

Step four is to standardize and simplify the new system you have set in place. By educating employees about the new standards and how to incorporate them into the daily routine, the sorting, organizing and cleaning that was done in steps one though three can be maintained.

Maintaining the Organization System

Step five is to sustain the work that has been done. By continually following up on your employees and maintaining the organizational system and cleaning standards put in place, and adapting as new equipment or supplies come into the picture, you can ensure that your company is running effectively and efficiently.
