SUSTAIN
Sustain refers to the process of keeping 5S running smoothly, but also of keeping everyone in the organization involved.
STANDARDIZE
Standardize assigns regular tasks, creates schedules, and posts instructions so these activities become routines.
SHINE
The Shine stage of 5S focuses on cleaning up the work area, which means sweeping, mopping, dusting, wiping down surfaces, putting tools and materials away, etc.
SET IN ORDER
Once the extra clutter is gone, it's easier to see what's what. Now work groups can come up with their strategies for sorting through the remaining items.
SORT
Gatherine of tools.materials, equipment, etc. in a work area to determine what needs to be present and what can be removed.
Using the 5S workspace philosophy in conjunction with CNC machines, the capabilities of our Machine Shop enable efficient operations with the most accurate data.
