5S principle 5S principle is described as a methodology that results in a clean, uncluttered, safe, and well-organized workspace that helps to minimize waste and maximize productivity.
The Steps of 5S Sort - Seiri (tidiness) Remove any unnecessary things from each area. Cleaning out unnecessary materials will provide the space required to arrange the essential things in step 2.
Set in order - Seiton (orderliness) Organization and detection of storage for productive use.
Shine - Seiso (cleanliness) Regularly clean and inspect each area. Dirt and grime can be eliminated until the work room is de-cluttered and organized.
Standardize – Seiketsu (standardization) Incorporate 5S into traditional operating processes. These improvements to the job duties and work climate of employees should be reflected in revised procedures
Sustain - Shitsuke (discipline) Assign liability, track progress, and continue the cycle. Unless accountability is delegated and progress is monitored, these new procedures will not amount to much.
3R Environment Policies The "3Rs." are also referred to as the concept of reducing waste, reusing, and recycling resources and goods.
Reduce - To make or use less of something smaller, resulting in a smaller amount of waste. The principle of reducing what is created and what is consumed is vital to the hierarchy of waste.
Here are some of the things you can do to reduce waste: Use Old Parts from Existing Computers. Buy used parts rather than pay the extra money for parts that are brand new. Do not Buy Unnecessary Parts. To minimize paper wastage, print on both sides of the paper. Use paperless methods to communicate.
Reuse -to use again or more than once. You may have a box of items that you keep that are broken or that you do not have a need for you to hang on and find some use for them in- case; or you can find sales on old furniture or go trash picking and get stuff that you can refinish-you are working to reuse the item in either case.
Here are some of the things you can do to reuse waste: Convert Old CD-ROM to CD Player Music Save the fans, heatsinks, LEDs, switches, and similar items for use on various occasions later. Turn an old hard drive into an external hard drive. On an old computer, students who want to learn how to repair computers might practice. They will harvest components to add to their custom-built computers from it. Repair damaged items.
Recycle - to convert materials/waste into reusable material. Recycling is the last step of the waste hierarchy. Recycling means that it can once again be converted into a raw material that can be transformed into a new piece.
Here are some of the things you can do to recycle waste: Repair and Resell Computers. Combine Used Computer Parts to Make “New” Computers. Turn Them into Fun DIY Projects.
Benefits of the ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ Waste Hierarchy Because the amount of waste thrown into the atmosphere will be greatly decreased, the chances of transmitting toxins will also decrease. It automatically reduces the emission and pollution levels of greenhouse gases.
The Waste Hierarchy removes the practice of unsafe handling of waste, i.e., haphazardly burning waste and garbage in an unregulated way. Instead, it helps us to handle waste in an eco-friendly way, reducing the chance of environmental harm.
The primary purpose of the 3R principle is to reduce the use of new resources and energy, making resource use more efficient. By utilizing the resources already available that are used several times, reprocessed, or completely reduced, it encourages resource quality.
As the resources available on hand are used and unnecessary use is minimized, this leads to more balanced energy use. It encourages not only energy and money, but also the atmosphere to be sustainable.
It supports the production of green technologies, which are ways of creating healthier, safer waste disposal practices, while reducing the effect on the ecosystem and all ecosystems.
