Sort Set-In-Order Shine Sustain Standardize If your factory hasn’t adopted 5-S, it is likely dirty with oil, dirt, and chips. Parts can’t be found and boxes are lying around in non- designated areas. New equipment is purchased, but not well maintained. Jigs and fixtures can’t be found when needed, and the morale in the plant is poor. In short, you are struggling and things aren’t getting better.

But if they are lost or damaged a replacement would be necessary.

Nor does it mean that you arrange things into neat, straight patterns. When you sort, you leave only the bare essentials. When in doubt, throw it out! Sort Meaning
