The 5S methodology as a tool for improving organization of production

Abstract

The chapter presents the 5S method as a tool for continuous improving lean management processes, whose task is to create a highly efficient, clean, and ergonomic working environment. The method is presented as a collection of 5 simple rules, and at the same time it is a tool that allows you to control the workplace visually. The history of the 5S tool originates from Japanese philosophy, namely the five basic elements of the system: Seiri (selection), Seiton (systematization), Seiso (cleaning), Seiketsu (standardization) and Shitsuke (self-discipline)
