1.
2.
3.
Go overboard on communication. Make sure management and employees in the target area are notified
when the red tagging will occur, and so forth.
Remove anything from the core work area that's not used at least weekly.
Eliminate waste by minimizing the following:
Inventory: raw materials, parts, in-process inventory, and products.
Equipment: machines, jigs, tools, carts, desks, chairs, dies, vehicles, fixtures, etc.
Space: floor area in the core work area, storage racks, totes, bins, shelving, etc.
b. Set/Systematize (Seiton) - the series of steps by which the optimum organization identified
in the first pillar are put into place.
Systematize Practices:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Tips
Create a work area map before setting locations. Consider alternatives and draw them on the map to
verify effectiveness. Consider them thoughtfully before setting locations.
Consider engaging people outside the work team in setting locations. Consult mechanics, electricians,
and specialists in sanitation, safety, quality, production scheduling, and accounting in order to tap their
ideas and resources.
Remember that mechanics, electricians, and technical contractors are stakeholders for your reset initiative.
Make sure their interests are addressed.

c. Sweep/Shine (Seiso) cleaning of the workplace. Cleaning even if things are not dirty.
Job Aid for Shine:
Definition - Shine
Remove dirt and debris, inspect equipment and eliminate
sources of contamination
Target Outcome
A clean workplace - one that shines, and that minimizes
sources of contamination
Action Steps
1. Define "clean"
2. Get cleaning supplies
3. Take "before" pictures
4. Clean the work area
5. Fix small imperfections
6. Identify contamination sources
7. Take "after" pictures
Resources
1. Cleaning supplies such as brooms, dust pans, rags,
degreasers, and floor cleaner.

Prepared by:
2. Personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye

protection. Do not wear jewelry that can get caught in
the equipment.

Page 20

Progress Check
___ Team has established their definition for "clean" in the target workplace
___ Cleaning supplies collected
___ Housekeeping staff consulted about cleaning agents
___ Personal Protective Equipment (e.g., gloves, safety glasses) distributed
___ Equipment shutdown or locked out to prevent safety risks
___ Potential safety risks (e.g., metal shavings, sharp edges) identified before cleaning
___ "Before" pictures taken (remember camera angles so that pictures are consistent)
___ Cleaning tasks completed
___ Observations shared among team members about inspection activity
Tips
Identify target areas for cleaning.

Consider doing the initial Shine process in waves. Do a first pass that addresses the biggest challenges. Use
additional passes to get successively better.
Remember that an important part of cleaning is inspection. As you get the work area clean, look for sources of
potential problems and contamination.
Once dirt, dust, grime and debris have been eliminated, consider painting surfaces or sealing them with a
protective coating. You'll be amazed by the visible difference.
How will cleanliness be sustained when the initial 5S project is complete? Record key cleaning points and
recommendations as you're wrapping up the Shine process. The information will come in handy in S4-Standardize.
A thorough cleaning process includes the obvious equipment and work surfaces, but also includes parts, storage
racks, tools, instruments, transportation vehicles, desks, chairs, walls, windows, closets and lighting. In short, clean
everything and everywhere in the workplace.

__ Information and/or training provided to stakeholders to assure understanding
Tips
Network with others engaged in the same activity. Collaborate to establish common approaches for creating
documentation, visual aids, etc.
Tap your company's graphics staff or people with strong computer skills to help with visual aids. Provide
them with a rough sketch or an example from a technical manual or catalog.
If your company is an ISO company, be sure to involve your ISO coordinator to assure compliance with ISO
requirements for postings and documentation.
Having an organized facility marking program (standards for markings, color coding, etc.) is integral to 5S success.
Otherwise, each 5S team does its own thing and the visible effect is a haphazard approach that could cause problems for
everyone. Consult your Brady representative for guidance about an organized facility marking program.
