5S being the foundation of TPM must be continually sustained. The only way to sustain it is to make it a way of life. And the only way to make it a way of life is to inculcate discipline through a designated 5S Day.
Now, how do we set up a 5S Day? You meet the teams and decide on which day will be the 5S Day. The normal pick is the first Day of the working week. A music is also assigned to call the attention of the people of the start and stop of the 5S Day. Normally, it is done at the start of each shift on the first day all over the company including the none operation areas or offices.
After which a 5S Patrol Audit must be conducted using the 5S Clean up Checklist that was used in performing the 5S Activity. There can also be a Reward System for compliant areas and corresponding action for those that have non conformity.
Wide use of Bulletin Boards with pictures of the 5S Activity will surely be an added tool to ensure 5S is continually embraced by the people. It must also be done with fanfare so that it is totally accepted by the team members.
Happy 5S Day!
God bless!

Why TPM Always Starts with 5S?
Why is 5S the basic foundation for doing TPM? Why can't we simply jump into TPM without going through 5S? Actually, you can jump into TPM without going through a formal 5S Program but it is always more effective to start with 5S before you embark on full TPM. Ask me why... Okay... let me share with you my thoughts on this based on my more than 20 years of doing 5S and more than 14 years of doing TPM.
As you would note, I have done 5S more than what I have been doing TPM. By this information, it tells you already that 5S had been circulating in the corporate world in the Philippines earlier than the advent of TPM. But this does not prove that we must do 5S first before TPM.
TPM based on JIPM- Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance guidelines have 8 Pillars. 5S is not a Pillar but is an integral part of each of the Pillars (AM- Autonomous Maintenance, Admin TPM, and PM- Planned Maintenance). The Steps involved in the 3 aforementioned TPM pillars are Initial Cleaning. Initial Cleaning is the 3rd Step in 5S. This is called Cleaning or Sweeping which is the direct English translation of SEISO. The first two Ss of the 5S are SEIRI- Sort, and SEITON- Set in Order.
Therefore, it is always good to start first with 5S before we embark on TPM for in 5S the basic discipline of sorting, arranging and cleaning are practiced and honed before it is applied in TPM. Let me give you an analogy. Say you are in a boat and you would like to maneuver your rubber boat in a stream which have very sharp rocks underwater. These rocks are potentially dangerous as this can cause the boat to sink as it can punch a hole on the underside of the boat. To ensure your rubber boat will be safe to pass through this stream, what you would do is to spend time to haul out all the sharp rocks out of the river. But you cannot see them unless you take out the water first. So it is 5S that takes out the surface issues to uncover the more serious issues that TPM can address.
Hope you got the concept. If not, please feel free to contact me for coaching and consultation.
Thanks and God bless!

Can 5S Really be Implemented in the Philippines?
5S was originated in Japan, and is therefore anchored on the Japanese culture . And we all know that Japanese are very disciplined, very simple, generally clean, and orderly. I have seen this in the many places I have been to in Japan. From their airports , to roads, to factories, homes and restaurants.
When we ate at a restaurant, we have to remove our shoes, to get into the dining area. The food served is well arranged. They have very good packaging of their products, be it food or otherwise. Their old temples are well kept. Centuries old still stands and still majestic.
In contrast, I know you would agree with me, that we have a long way to be at par with the Japanese culture. I have been to many countries and none of them goes an inch nearer to what the Japanese are.
So, since 5S was originated in Japan, and the culture of Japanese are way above what we are, can we implement 5S in the Philippines?
I say YES! The strong characteristics of us Filipinos is our resiliency and adaptability. We have seen ourselves rise above crisis after crisis. Typhoons and earthquakes, and coup de etat do not make us crumble. We as a people also blends and adapts to where we are thrown into. We are very compliant and adaptive as well. In all places I have been, Singapore, Korea, Japan, USA, the Filipinos copy exact and sometimes show much better discipline that the host county people are. Even here locally, you can see those that goes to Makati changes and adapts to where they are....
So even in 5S Implementation, I say YES...it can be done here in the Philippines for factories who wish to do it. It may require more visual controls and poka yoke systems, bu it can be done. I have seen it implemented in US companies that are located here in the Philippines.
Yes, we Filipinos can implement 5S.
God bless!

5S is not a Program..It is a Way of Life...
5S know-how is something we can learn and acquire from seminars and in-house programs. Teaching somebody to drive without getting in the car and driving around the city will be useless and soon forgotten. Still that somebody ends up not knowing how to actually drive a car.
Much the same way with 5S. You can learn it but it is in doing that makes you really know it. It is in practicing the concepts that makes you develop the discipline. And continuous application with strict discipline will lead you to make it as a way o life.
I have been to many places all over the world. I believe that the most disciplined people in Europe are Germans and in Asia, undoubtedly, it is the Japanese people. This is reflected in the general cleanliness of their country.
It is a long way before we Filipinos will be able to catch up with them. This is because as a culture and as a nation, we primarily lack discipline. But, I do believe, given the right motivation and training, we are fast learners and adapters. In my heart, I know we can learn, acquire and live with discipline.
Motivation, Training, Continuing Applications at the work site and at homes will surely ingrain in us discipline... Discipline to do what we need to do even if we do not want to.... in everything including 5S Implementation.
Would like to know your reactions....
If you need Consultants to apply 5S in your Factory ...just respond to this blog.
God bless!
Much the same way in Filipino companies or companies within our country

Secrets of 5S SWEEP Revealed...
5S SWEEP deals with cleaning and inspecting to keep tools and machines in good condition and ready for use. 5S SWEEP is Cleaning with Meaning. Cleaning to find out the source of contamination and abnormalities to eliminate the need to clean and prevent areas to be messy. The TPM 5S “principle here is that we are all happier and hence more productive in clean, bright environments.”
5S TPM also makes it easier to detect abnormalities if there is routine clean up and inspection of the machine by the person who runs it. 5S TPM also promotes ownership, and pride on workplace and company.
Other issues 5S TPM addresses includes health and safety and early machine or tools deterioration due to contamination either by grease and or dust.
The task is to establish the maintenance of a clean and orderly workplace and environment as a continuous program by the area owners who set aside 5-10 minutes to perform cleaning and inspection each day, or each shift and everything is restored to its place..

Secret of 5S SORTING Revealed...
Go through all tools, materials, supplies, spares, files, etc., in the plant and workplace. Keep only essential items. Everything else not needed frequently to do job is stored or discarded or thrown away.
The immediate action in 5S SORTING is removing the rubbish and clutter, reduction of needed items in the workplace to bare minimum required , 5S SORTING also involves initial cleaning and generally making the area tidy. By getting rid of unnecessary items and consolidating unused items, equipment, supplies, and stocks, reductions in stocks , racks , cabinets and equipment can be had, and additional space can be made available, and needed items used frequently or on regular intervals can be found easier.
REMOVE WHAT IS NOT NECESSARY, MAKE IT EASY TO FIND WHAT IS NEEDED. KEEP THE AREA UNCLUTTERED & SIMPLE through 5S SORTING

First Mistake in 5S is SORTING made Complicated
5S SORTING is the first S of 5S to be accomplished in our 5S Journey. Sadly, many companies starts the 5S SORT activity on a wrong foot. They make the 5S SORT step which is simply removing the UNNECESSARY in the workplace to identifying what is NEEDED in the workplace!
Of course, the workplace wont run without the needed items, and therefore there is no need to list these down and quantify one by one what is needed. This is a lot of paper-works and counting and is such a waste of energy and time. This is not the way we do 5S TPM.
What really matter in the 5S SORT step is to identify the exception. The exception is what is not needed in the workplace as the key result 5S SORT wants to achieve is to remove the clutter and make the area free from unnecessary items so the space can be clear and safe.
5S SORT also is simply focused on identification and removal of unnecessary items, and the succeeding steps will address how to arrange it so that it is easy to access what is needed or necessary on the workplace including how many inventory should there be.
That is the 5S SORT Step. Nothing more, nothing less...

What TPM Can Do to Your Company
Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a Japanese approach to Overall Factory Effectiveness (OFE) .
TPM encompasses all the Key Performance Indices of the company specifically on Cost, Productivity, Quality, and People Involvement.
TPM is a comprehensive system that cuts across the entire organization.
TPM ensures streamlined, focused and coordinated effort in achieving (OFE).
TPM is simple and step by step and can be easily tracked and monitored to guarantee success.
TPM also develops discipline, camaraderie, teamwork, and a sense of accomplishment for all the members of the organization.
There are many systems corporations can opt for, but TPM is a proven, methodical system applied all over the world on different types of industries.
TPM is successfully implemented initially in Japan and has gained worldwide acceptance even in the USA and in European countries.
One American company in the Philippines particularly used TPM as their system enabling them to be best in their class and achieve JIPM-PM Excellence Awards consistently for many years.
“I have been introduced to TPM- Total Productive Maintenance in 1996 and since then I have been an avid missionary to spread the TPM culture with its powerful capabilities and yet straight simplicity. Over the past years, I have seen some confusion and disinformation about TPM. However, I have also seen that true TPM really works all over the world. It is so simple yet so powerful and it totally harness the summation of the entire organization’s goodness!.” ...Benjie Santiago
“Amongst the arsenal of management tools available to meet today’s challenges, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) has established itself as an effective process through which the transformation of working in the practicing company is radical, assured, immense & achievable. The TPM gospel, as preached by the Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance (JIPM), is based on a zero loss concept in operations with zero breakdowns of plant & equipment, zero accidents and zero product defects.”... Flavio Lima- Brazil
If you want to learn more or implement TPM in your factory...contact me or drop me an email for more information.

5S History and Origin
5S is made in Japan! "5S" was originated in Japan, and stands for five (5) Japanese words that start with the letter 'S': Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke. . An equivalent set of five 'S' words in English have been adopted by many, to maintain the "5S" acronym. These are: Sort, Set (in order), Sweep or Shine, Standardize, and Sustain.
5S is a simple yet innovative Japanese concept.
5S was first implemented within Toyota. Toyota believed that untidy, cluttered work areas are unsafe and unproductive. It is also going to compromise quality.
Employees generally work better when they are happy in a clean, tidy & safe environment . When employees are happy and secured they tend to become more attentive, efficient and productive.
5S is actually the base or foundation of TPM Implementation. And many companies embark on TPM as their system for continual improvements...
Will talk more about it on next blog...
