How To
How do you apply the 5S at work?
To make your workplace more efficient, organize everything. A clean desk, a neat room, and a well-organized space are all key factors in ensuring everyone is productive. The five "S"'s (Sort. Shine. Clean. Separate. And Store) help to maximize space and ensure efficiency. This session will go over each of these steps and show how they can be used in any setting.
-
Sort. Clear away clutter and paper so that you don’t spend time looking for it. This means putting things where you use them most often. If you find yourself frequently referring to something, place it near the location where you do your research. It is important to consider whether or not you actually need something. If it does not serve a purpose, get rid of it.
-
Shine. Do not keep anything that could possibly cause damage or injury to others. For example, if you have a lot of pens lying around, find a way to store them safely. It might mean investing in a pen holder, which is a great investment because you won't lose pens anymore.
-
Sweep. Clean off surfaces regularly to prevent dirt from building up on your furniture and other items. To keep surfaces as clean as you can, invest in dusting equipment. To keep your workspace tidy, you could even designate a particular area for dusting and cleaning.
-
Separate. Separate your trash into multiple bins to save time when you have to dispose of it. Trash cans are usually placed strategically throughout the office so that you can easily throw out the garbage without searching for it. You can take advantage of this location and place trash bags near each bin to make it easy to find what you are looking for.
