5S at Home....

In my trips abroad and travels all over the Philippines, I always get a chance to get into other people"s homes. In so many occasions, I see that there is a need to do 5S.

Most basic we can do on this at home is waste sorting and segregation. Homes can help reduce waste generation by segregating those that can be recycled, reuse or sold. Waste bins must be designated for plastics and papers, and food wastes.

Another thing most homes have are clutters. Things frequently used and those which are seldom or even not being used are together in the same cabinet. We need to perform sorting . We just have to make sure we take out from our cabinets those we do not use anymore and it will be good to either sell them via garage sale or better yet donate them.

Another annoyance at home is looking for things needed, like keys to the car, or certain room or lockers. Or even looking for tools that is needed. So much time and energy is wasted looking for it and it even results to irritations in the home. This can be addressed by doing the setting in order. Or in other words putting things in same place in orderly manner. This can be done by labeling and binning things, making those frequently used easily accessible. For example, examine where you put you car keys, your emergency lights, your hammer, screw drivers, and other things you need either frequently or not so frequent. Then, arrange them such that they are easily accessible.

These are just few of the examples how we can apply 5S at home.

For more guidance, I would be willing to assist you on this.

Just drop me an email.

God bless!
