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!
