6S

1. The Base of Continuous I mprovement

2. What is the purpose of 6S? The 6S method, also referred to as "5S + Safety", assists in maintaining productivity and safety in the workplace. The six steps of the 6S method are: sort, systematize, clean, standardize, self-discipline and safety.

3. What is 6S Lean? The 6S method is a system that aims to promote and sustain high levels of productivity and safety throughout an organization. 6S Lean is an extension of the 5S methodology, incorporating safety to streamline efficiency and reduce waste. 6S will improve: S Q D C M Safety Quality Delivery Cost Moral

4. What is 6S Lean? 6S lean manufacturing combines the five key components of 5S — sort, straighten, shine, standardize, and sustain — with safety. The goal of 6S is to ensure that safety is a part of all lean manufacturing processes from end to end, in turn reducing the risk of accidents and limiting the amount of production downtime.

5. We call 6S the 6 Steps for Productivity & Success

6. Sort ( Seiri ) Sort focuses on reducing clutter in work environments by removing unnecessary items to improve overall efficiency. Items are often “tagged” by the color — green-tagged items stay, red-tagged items are immediately removed and yellow-tagged items are stored for later use. Fig: Red tag Zone

7. Straighten/Set In Order ( Seiton ) Straighten (also called ‘set in order’) speaks to organizing green-tagged work items within workspaces such that they’re easy to retrieve, use, and put away. By creating a systematic approach to production line processes, companies can increase accessibility and boost overall efficiency with an organized workplace. Some Example: Fig: Drawer allocation Fig: Stationaries area Fig: Locker allocation Fig: categorized & kept the items in box Fig: Work station Fig: Locker allocation

8. Shine ( Seiso ) Cleaning is the priority in this 6S component. From basic clean-up of tools and equipment around the work area to maintaining a “pleasant” appearance, Shine is all about preventing problems by reducing the risk of sudden tool or machine failures. This component also speaks to building proactive and preventative processes that help workspaces stay clean over the long term. That’s mean Cleaning with Meaning. Fig: Shine

9. Standardize ( Seiketsu ) Standardization combines the work of the first three components to identify best practices and develop policies and work processes that support these practices over time. Standardization may include a written code of conduct, on-site visual reminders such as signs or posters, and regular site inspections. Some example to practice Standardize in office This is a standardized place where anyone can come & can see that all the items are on the place & tagged accordingly. This is a standardized office work station. Here all the files & stationaries allocated properly.

10. Sustain ( Shitsuke ) Sustain focuses on transitioning a 6s program from one-time practice to intrinsic application. This requires continual monitoring and evaluation until processes become second nature. Key Techniques Training and Education Develop self discipline Reward & recognition Continual 5S promotional activities Auditing What are the 6 steps of an audit? Audit Process Step 1: Planning. The auditor will review prior audits in your area and professional literature. Step 2: Notification. ... Step 3: Opening Meeting. ... Step 4: Fieldwork. ... Step 5: Report Drafting. ... Step 6: Management Response. ... Step 7: Closing Meeting. ... Step 8: Final Audit Report Distribution.

11. Safety Safety ties all five S’s together by identifying possible hazards during each step of the process and developing methods to eliminate the hazards and keep workers safe — and productive.

12. Benefits of 6S Lean

13. How does 6S Lean differ from Lean Six Sigma? 6S focuses on safety and lean principles, while Lean Six Sigma adds statistical analysis to minimize defects. How can Certainty help with 6S Lean implementation? Certainty provides powerful tools for 6S Lean implementation. Features include centralized data collection, customizable checklists, and real-time reporting to streamline audits, identify safety risks, and enhance continuous improvement efforts. With these tools, organizations can improve safety, reduce waste, and achieve compliance efficiently.

14. Conclusion After studying the 6S method, we can say that it is incredibly advantageous to any organization or manufacturing industry. The main objective to implement this method in the industry is to get rid of excess inventory, enhance process flow, organize work, provide a safe working environment, and make the work atmosphere healthier. Any organization's overall performance is improved through the 6S method.
