SEIRIThe Cleaning up / Sorting

An almirah was storing files and stationery

But…. All was hap-hazard

After Seiri

All files were checked for relevance on the following grounds…

Usage within last four months Condition of usability

It was found that many files of the year 2002 were also in these almirahs and were of no use as such

Some stationery was not in conditions of use

Seiton : Maintain Orderliness

A place for everything and everything is in its place

All these files as well as racks were labeled Unnecessary files were send to the archives

section A list was sticked outside the almirah to make

search easy and quick More frequently used files were kept in 2nd and

3rd racks …while stationery was in the 4th and 5th racks

SEISO : Cleaning

Rules were set to clean up the almirahs every weekend in the order prescribed

Standards were set for a regular practice of 5s to be imbibed among employees

For eg. Labeling new file, putting them in the sequence of months, and in the appropriate rack

SHITSUKE: Making it a Habit

It was required to be followed strictly, regularly and by everyone right from top to bottom…

Everyone was oriented towards the consecutive benefits and how important is everyone’s role in its implementation

5S in a Hospital

Government hospitals project the image of a poorly equipped, low-morale, and badly maintained organization.

5S could help in the basic quality improvement

SEIRI

Department established disposal standards and policies.

Each hospital employee will initially be asked to take out unnecessary items in his area of work and dispose it properly.

Seiton : Maintain Orderliness

They were further asked to re arrange the items as per the convenience of user.

Stored items must be properly labeled to facilitate retrieval

Warning signs are applied on items needing safety precautions.

SEISO : Cleaning

All work activities must be coordinated
