The list describes how to organize a workspace for efficiency and effectiveness by identifying and storing the items used, maintaining the area and items, and sustaining the new order.



▶ Sort

Go through all tools, materials, and so forth in the plant and work area.

Everything else is stored or discarded.



▶Set in Order

Arrange the work, workers, equipment, parts, and instructions.
In such a way that the workflows free of waste through the value-added tasks with a division of labor necessary to meet demand.



▶ Shine

Clean the workspace and all equipment, and keep it clean, tidy, and organized.

This step ensures that the workstation is ready for the next user and that order is sustained.

This means commitment.
