Improvement of Plant Layout by using 5S technique-An industrial case study
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
5S is one of the most widely adopted techniques from the lean manufacturing toolbox. Along with Standard Work and Total Productive Maintenance, 5S is considered a "foundational" lean concept, as it establishes the operational stability required for making and sustaining continuous improvements. The primary objective of 5S is to create a clean, orderly environment- an environment where there is a place for everything and everything is in its place. Beyond this, many companies begin their lean transformation with 5S because it exposes some of the most visible examples of waste it also helps establish the framework and discipline required to successfully pursue other continuous improvement initiatives.
