5S Workplaces: When Safety and Lean Work Together

Many manufacturing and industrial facilities follow the “5S” methodology.  The 5S methodology is a simple and universal approach that works in companies all over the world.  It is essential to support other manufacturing improvements as just-in-time (JIT) production, total quality management (TQM) or six sigma initiatives.  5S is a huge contributor to making the workplace a safer place for employees.

The primary objective of 5S is to create a clean, safe and orderly environment.  The term refers to five steps – sort, set in order, shine, standardize and sustain.  They are considered the five pillars of a visual workplace.
