Five S+2

SORT

The first "S" is SORT...

The objective is to identify what is needed for current production verses the unneeded.

To do this we use a concept called “RED” tagging, where all unnecessary items are red tagged and removed to a quarantined area for later disposition.

The challenge here is that most people are “pack” rats . . . . Flat surfaces, open areas, under benches, etc. have a tendency to collect things.

1. Sort

2. Set

3. Shine

4. Standardize

5. Sustain

6. Safety

7. Smaintenance

Five S+2 is the first step in implementing

a Lean Manufacturing philosophy.

Five S+2 . . . A place for everything

and everything in its place.
