Learning outcomes
After completing the Unit, you should: understand the importance of effective workplace organisation and be able to describe each of the 5Cs/5Ss understand the process and implications of applying 5C/5S to the workplace have carried out a 5C/5S activity, probably as part of a team, to improve the organisation of a work area be confident that you could repeat the application of the principles and techniques of 5C/5S to another area
But one tool has been specifically designed to improve this and is known as 5C/5S.

5C/5S
5C/5S definition
A structured method for achieving, maintaining and improving the standard setup, organisation, layout and control of a work area, so as to ensure safe and efficient operations with minimum waste.

Introducing 5C/5S
The concept of 5C/5S is generally regarded to have originated from the Japanese automotive industry, and is considered one of the fundamental building blocks for an organisation striving to establish lean practices and a culture of continuous improvement.
Importance safety, quality, delivery, cost, client satisfaction sets standards a reflection of how the product/service or project will be managed/delivered mindset image

5C / 5S
The original Japanese 5Ss have been adopted and adapted by Western industries. The translations and basic meanings are shown in the table.

1.
Clear-out/sort
Remove those items from the workplace that are not essential to enable the work activity to be carried out.
16
1.
Clear-out/sort
Clear-out/sort non-essential items (eg tools, equipment, inventory, paper, rubbish, furniture). By being present, such non-essential items: create clutter can create unsafe working conditions take up space can hinder efficient operations often will be moved from one place to the next can hide other problems within the work place
17
1.
Designate an area to which all items will be cleared to. Direct the team on health and safety considerations and how the activity will be run. Log all items as they are cleared from the work area. Red-tag any items that are in a poor condition.

In one such clear-out activity in a small office area, 12 bin sacks were filled with unnecessary items!

2. Use visual methods to clearly show where each item should be located: labels showing name, ID number, etc shadow boards floor tape, painted lines and footprints colour coding
24
2.
3. Establish ways, preferably visual methods, to manage the replenishment of regularly used items including materials and consumables: determine the lead times for replenishment set and clearly shown maximum storage quantities and the point at which an item needs to be re-ordered (ie the minimum level or re-order point) min-max labelling two-bin replenishment system when the first bin is emptied this is the signal to refill it
25
2.
Configure/straighten
A configured/straightened site: racked-out stored items have a designated location locations are labelled: description part/order number
items have clearly defined locations labels used to indicate what should be at each location and the storage quantities
27
3.
Clean and check (or shine), is used to ensure that items are clean and ready to be used. Regular, ideally daily, clean and check activities are carried out to maintain the 5C standards for cleanliness and workplace organisation.
3.
Undertake regular clean and check activities. Ensure that items are clean and ready to be used as new: identify any abnormal conditions (red-tag) items missing, damaged or broken Check for safe operating conditions. Maintain the 5C/5S standards for cleanliness and workplace organisation.
29
3.
Regular clean and check activity, carried out by the people who operate within the workplace, will create ownership and make people aware of any issues. Aim to make the cleaning activity part of every days work. On-site, work areas should be tidied and any rubbish disposed of. If done every day, it becomes normal practice. Clean-up by trades as they finish a job must be enforced, so that any wasted time experienced by follow-on trades will be minimised.

3.
should include the area as well as the tools, equipment and plant to be used When checking tools, equipment and plant ask: Is it in good repair? Is it fit for purpose? Does the condition pose a risk to either health and safety or quality? If an issue is found, TAG IT!
31

32
3.
It is important that where any items have been identified with issues, the resolution of these is effectively managed. A commonly applied 5C/5S practice is the use of red-tagging.
33
Tagging procedure
34
3.
Red tags are used to provide a visual indicator of an abnormal condition. Brief details of the issue and possible countermeasure are logged. Each red tag is given a unique number to enable recording and tracking of issues. The red tag is tied to the item that has the issue.

Conformity
The process of setting the 5C/5S standards and making them easy to maintain by using simple systems and processes. It can prove difficult to maintain the 5C/5S standard that has been set during the first three 5Cs/5Ss. The use of forms, diagrams, checklists and clearly defined roles and responsibilities will help ensure that everyone in the work area can maintain the 5C/5S standard. It is important that this information is effectively communicated to people within the work area and to those people who interact with the work area.

Conformity
The process of setting the 5C/5S standards and making them easy to maintain by using simple systems and processes. This can be achieved by following some simple guidelines:
pre-work set-up checklist (do you have all the tools, materials and equipment ready?) display how work tasks should be done display the 5C standard of the workplace define how the 5C standard is to be maintained (eg clean and check rota) use visual methods to show the location of necessary items
