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...
God bless!

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.
God bless!

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...
