Seiketsu Kaizen

Kaizen

 

Kaizen is the practice of continuous improvement. Kaizen was originally introduced to the West by Masaaki Imai in his book Kaizen: The Key to Japan’s Competitive Success in 1986. Today Kaizen is recognized worldwide as an important pillar of an organization’s long-term competitive strategy.

What is 5S ?

One of the most powerful Lean Manufacturing Tools and a cornerstone of any successful implementation is that of 5S, but what is 5S and its 5 Steps of Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu and Shitsuke?

5S is a simple tool for organizing your workplace in a clean, efficient and safe manner to enhance your productivity, visual management and to ensure the introduction of standardized working.
Most of the other definitions of 5S and descriptions that I see here on the internet concentrate heavily on the aesthetics and the efficiency gains that you achieve through implementing 5S and neglect the real aim of 5S; the need to introduce standard operational practices to ensure efficient, repeatable, safe ways of working.

In addition to standardised working which provides you with a stable foundation to build all of your other improvements through implementing Lean Tools, you also provide a highly visual workplace. One of the most important factors of 5S is that it makes problems immediately obvious.
5S is a team run process and should be conducted by the people who work within the area in which the principles of 5S are being applied, it is not a tool that can be applied by an outsider onto an area without the knowledge and cooperation of the people within it.

TABEL 5S

Seiketsu – “Standardized” 

Seiketsu is the fourth step of the 5S method. It means “standardized cleanup”. It derives from the one-time Seiso step which made the factory “shiny clean” and set the standard for cleanliness. Seiketsu makes it possible and feasible to live up to that standard.

Seiketsu enables and ensures compliance to the new standards of cleanliness. The benefits include:

• Maintaining the higher morale gained during Seiso

•  Pride in the workplace

• Relapsing into dirty or messy conditions means that theSeisoeffort was wasted

• Minimal investment in time: the goal is 5 minutes per worker per shift

•  No big clean-up before a visit from customers or executives

•  Less downtime for equipment

What Have We Learned?

•  Tasks

• Tools required for each task

• Sequence of tasks

• Time required for each task

What are the benefits of Seiketsu in the 5S process?

·   

• Maintain cleanliness, and therefore avoid periodic large-scale cleanup projects

• Support the Seiri(sort) and Seiton (set in order) initiatives: regular cleaning ensures that only useful objects are kept, and tools are stored in their proper places

• Maintains the morale boost from the one-time Seiso(shiny-clean) step: the effort was not wasted; management really is committed; and everyone continues to work toward this common goal

• Provides a daily visual inspection of equipment and facilities, so preventative maintenance can be performed at the earliest possible time

• Makes it easier to note that tools and materials are stored properly at the end of each shift

• Reinforces the culture of tidiness, so workers are less likely to leave a mess that they will just have to clean up later

• he less frequent cleanups – weekly or even less often – also have benefits:

• Reinforces the good first impression of cleanliness and tidiness, because the less-used or less-visited areas are also well-maintained; there is no contrast between a showcase work station and a messy storage closet

• Improves morale by reducing the friction between workers with different personal tolerances for neatness, or different ways of storing tools
  Contributes to consistent quality and productivity

Step - Step Seiketsu

• Determination Control Point

• You keep unnatural conditions

•  Monitor mechanism design

• Periodic inspection

•  Patterns are not further
