Are you looking for ways to start reducing your costs and increase productivity? Implementing a Five S program is a very good way to start. Considering the tight economic environment we are currently facing, it is a good idea to get better organized, reduce waste and avoid unnecessary costs anywhere we can. This is where 5S can be helpful.
Using 5S to Highlight your Competitive Advantage
Isn’t 5S just about cleaning and good housekeeping? A good 5S program is a lot more than just regular cleaning and good housekeeping. In practice, 5S is the first part of executing a process improvement program. This is done in both manufacturing and service industries. FS is a proven systematic approach to cleaning up, getting organized and using standards to improve productivity, reduce waste, and improve safety and quality.
How do I use 5S to improve my business?
For example, let’s say that after analyzing your business processes, you realize that your competitive advantage is in improving the turn-around of your product or service. You want to be able to deliver quicker and better than your competitor. Where would you start?
5S could be helpful to you here. By implementing 5S you will be able to remove all the clutter and potential sources of waste that are not absolutely essential to delivering the value that your customer demands. After the initial clean up, you will begin to see better how your processes could be organized more efficiently. You will begin to see opportunities for visual management that will help your employees avoid making costly mistakes.
Maintaining your Competitive Advantage through 5S
After the initial clean up, 5S can help you maintain your competitive advantage. 5S provides a regular audit system that will help you maintain the levels of productivity you achieved after the initial clean up. 5S will help you develop your company standard for where the things your employees need should be stored and how they are to be cleaned and maintained so that they are always available. The end result should be avoiding waste as much as possible and reducing your cost to deliver.
5S is a very Simple but Powerful Tool
5S is a very simple and yet powerful tool that you can easily implement right away. The principles underlying a Five S program at first appear to be simple, obvious common sense. And they are. However, many companies still ignore these basic principles and are missing a great opportunity to increase their productivity.
What kind of companies have 5S?
The benefits of 5S were first realized in manufacturing and industrial operations. However, the benefits learned there are now being applied in all kinds of businesses, from retail stores to distribution businesses, from private to government offices. All types of businesses and all areas within a business, will realize benefits from implementing a 5S program.
