5S PROCESS IMPLEMENTATION
5S has proved to be a very powerful “SHEQ tool” that can be used to assure personal
safety and the safety of fellow employees.
5S is an Employee driven process and Management will play a supportive role in the
5S process.
Optimal 5S performance, will assure optimal work performance, and assure that
employees are safeguarded against:
Mechanical hazards
Electrical hazards
Slipping and tripping hazards.
Falling from or to below hazards.
Fire and Chemical hazards.

JOB PRIDE DEVELOPMENT
“If you clean up the factory floor, you tend to clean up the thought processes of the
people in it too.”
Professor Robert Hayes
WHAT IS 5S?
WHAT 5S IS NOT
ZERO harm
ZERO defects
Starts with the 5S Process
ZERO waste
STEP 1. SORT
Identify and remove
all items not needed
from all work areas
Regardless of such evidence, there are still many organisations that do not have a
formal or organised system in place, in order to assure that Housekeeping and Work
Place Order are practiced continuously.
Many Organisations do have formalised and organised systems in place, but they
are management driven. In other words, the state of Housekeeping and Work Place
Order are mainly the result of management intervention.
However any process driven by management only, with little or no involvement from
employees, will only have short term results.
Examples:
Hiroyuki Hirano’s book “Pillars of the Visual Workplace” has become the source for
the 5S Housekeeping process worldwide and 5S is now recognised as the
cornerstone for continuous improvement of Housekeeping and Work Place Order .
If there is any doubt about the effect of disorder on a persons attitude and decisions,
ask yourself the following questions:
Henry Ford, the great inventor and industrial giant, was once asked the question:
“What would you do if you were called upon to take charge of a business that had
failed?”
“No business I know ever went to the wall without first accumulating a vast pile of
dirt. The dirt and all that goes with it, untidy thinking and methods, helped to cause
that failure. The first thing I would do would be to clean that business up”.

5S / WORKPLACE edit Master title style
Wasted space
Safety and health hazards
Fire hazards etc.
In other words, finding a place for every thing and then putting everything in its
place, can become a deliberate waste generating practice.
In order to eliminate waste generation and establish proper order, we can adopt a
new definition namely:
“A place is in order when there are no unnecessary things about, and when all
necessary things are in their proper places. “No” in this sentence means none!
Not even one!”
Harry Meyers
The two most common and efficient methods of accomplishing the Sort phase of 5S
are:
1. Red Tagging
2. The “Team Blitz”
Note:
Management must be willing to address all issues as they are
identified during the “sort” phase of the 5S process.

Red Tagging Procedure and holding times:
Step 1: An item is Red Tagged (“Team Blitz”). The Red Tag is completed partially. Note:
Items that pose an immediate threat to individuals and the environment must be removed
immediately to the Area Red Tag Zone.
Step 2: After 2 (two) days this item need to be moved to the Area Red Tag Zone, this is a
non negotiable time frame. This item may not stay in the Area Red Tag Zone for longer
than 5 (five) working days. The supervisor or responsible line manager to consider actions
to be taken and complete the rest of the Red Tag. Consider the Tagging criteria.
Step 3: The item is now moved to the Central Red Tag Zone. The item may not stay in the
Central Red Tag Zone for longer than 10 (ten) working days. A decision regarding the
tagged item need to be taken, based on the item’s Tagging criteria.
The “Team Blitz” is performed by the natural working teams from each work
area.
Teams plan dates and times to perform the “Team Blitz”.
Teams list all the items, the item value, and reasons why it will and cannot be
used.
Teams must agree as a team which items should be removed.
Once agreed, teams must now remove identified items permanently from their
work area.
Teams are required to use the “red tags” as per the red tag standards.
Teams are required to comply with the “red tag” zone holding times.
At the end of the “holding time” period, all items with red tags must be removed
from the area by the team
Note: Some items identified by the team for removal, require approval from the
supervisor or line manager.

STEP 3: SHINE to edit Master title style
The Shine phase of 5S is the wash, clean, dust and keep it that way phase.
The “shine” phase requires employee teams to clean their work areas, machines,
tools and equipment, including the removing of debris, dirt, grime, oil spillages etc.
In order to embed the “shine” phase as a way of life, teams are required to:
Compile a cleaning checklist of items in the team’s area and that it is posted up.
Compile cleaning-up schedules (time frames).
Compile minor maintenance inspection checklists.
Assign, on a rotational basis, team members to take responsibility for cleaning.

PHASE 3: SHINE
The Shine phase of 5S is the wash, clean, dust and keep it that way phase.
Effective cleaning requires that employees “shine” their work areas, machines, tools
and equipment, including removing debris, dirt, grime, oil spillages etc.
It is the responsibility of the “5S Task Team” members (Process Champions) to ensure
that working teams are provided with the correct cleaning equipment and chemicals.
During this phase, many employees will start to develop a sense of “Job Pride”.
Job Pride will cause such employees to start to fix broken equipment, want to paint
walls and plant grass etc.
When this happens, the Process Champion must ensure that such working teams are
provided with the required resources by their respective line management.
