Why do 5S?1:27
Why do 5S? Not only is this the single greatest mindset to have when it comes to being productive, but it also engages people to work together and achieve their vision of their workplace.
I owe my consulting career to the 5S System3:43
Understanding Waste; the real villain5:55
Identify waste as the real villain by analyzing cycle time and non-value-added steps, distinguishing inevitable work from value-added tasks, and shrinking cycle time to improve quality, speed, and cost.
An example from Retail13:33
Prepare your mind prior to starting 5S3:48
Explore the seven forms of waste, value added versus waste, and how the five S's eliminate waste, via a pilot-area plan with weekly training and before-and-after photos.
PowerPoint wrap up - and Downloads6:30
apply 5s practices to sorting, labeling, and keeping visible cabinets with red tag holding areas, and establish standards for set in order and shine.
Step 1 of 7: Create the Vision (and whiteboard)3:42
Engage the team to create a five-year vision across safety, quality, productivity, and equipment, then implement an adapted five S: sanitize, standardize, sustain via daily audits and a site map.
Step 2 of 7: Make the Workplace Scan Visible for all to see3:02
Perform a workplace scan to select a high-impact, highly visible target area for five s, photograph safety concerns, map the flow, and use a diagnostic scorecard to show current conditions.
Pick a Pilot Area and get started6:57
Pick a pilot area and apply 5S by sorting, setting in order, sanitizing, standardizing, and sustaining, using before-and-after photos and the red-tag storage approach to reclaim space and improve workflow.
Step 3 of 7: Sort through and Sort out the unneeded items11:32
Introduction by Construction Leaders6:44
Apply the five s system—sort, straight, sweep, shine, standardize, sustain—to enable continuous improvement. Leaders showcase a four-and-a-half-day tool-room transformation, reducing toolbox steps from 500 to 265.
The first S - Sort9:20
Step 4 of 7: Set-in-Order test things first using temporary measures6:48
Set in order by keeping everything in a strike zone between knees and shoulders and within 90 degrees of the body, using temporary lines and signs to map the area.
The Second S - Straighten9:21
The Third S - Shine8:11
Step 5 of 7: Shine or Sanitize5:58
Step 6 of 7: Standardize the first 3S's and more8:34
Standardize the first three S's (sort, set in order, shine) by establishing audits, quantities, labels, color coding, and permanent lines, then sustain with a routine checklist.
The Fourth S - Standardize10:40
Apply the five s system by standardizing and sustaining lean work areas through visual management, standard work, and kanban to drive continuous improvement.
The Fifth S - Sustain13:32
A 5S Exercise - Count the Numbers8:02
Apply the 5S system—sort, set in order, shine, standardize, sustain—through a 15-second count exercise. See how sorting, labeling, and standards create order and speed in locating numbers and materials.
A 5S Exercise turn homework in to LeanConstructionLeaders.com7:59
film a before-and-after five s exercise to organize a space, showing sort, straighten, sweep (shine), standardize, and sustain with visual management and labeling.
Step 7 of 7: The hardest part is to Sustain5:28

Description

The 5S System for Workplace Organization, Standardization, Sanitizing, and Sterilization

Many have heard about the 5S System. Now (2021) it is applied to Sanitize and Sterilize with videos from a dental clinic. However, you decide to implement this improvement process - you must follow the 7 steps outlined in this course.

Join George Trachilis - experienced with 5S for 25 years - as he shares how his consulting firm was first created to consult on 5S and grew to be one of Canada's Hottest Growth companies. He shares PowerPoints, audit checklists, posters, and most importantly his knowledge of how to do 5S in the most efficient way possible. One of his students, Perry Thompson, shares the 5S process for the construction industry. This course has examples from a steel mill, metal processing plant, dental clinic, and fabrication shop.

Originally, Henry Ford came up with the CANDO system; Cleanliness, Arrangement, Neatness, Discipline, and Ongoing Improvement. However, it was further developed by the Japanese using words that started with the letter "S".

Keys and Tips to Implement the 5S Methodology

SEIRI (Sort) is about organizing and eliminating unnecessary items from your workplace
SEITON (Set in order) means setting in order the necessary items so that they are easy to find and use by everyone.
SEISO (Shine) - When shine is done right, you are using the inspection process to identify and eliminate problems. Keeping it clean is only part of the process. Preventing cleaning from happening is very powerful
SEIKETSU (Standardize) is about standardizing the first 3S's, and in this course, we share how to standardize workflow as well.
SHITSUKE (Sustain) is about the communication and commitment from management. It emphasizes employee ownership.

Please note we DO NOT share Japanese terms in this course. However, we have created a comic book character called MUDAMAN! This is an invisible villain that keeps us on a path of wasting our time (wasting our lives). See how to eliminate Mudaman by using 5S.
