Standardization (Seiketsu):

  • Ensure cleanliness and orderliness are maintained.
  • Organize everything in accordance with established standards.
Sort
(Seiri):
  • Remove unnecessary items and dispose of them appropriately.
  • Simplify tasks by eliminating obstacles.
  • Minimize disruptions caused by unnecessary items.
  • Prevent the accumulation of redundant items.
  • Evaluate essential items based on factors such as departmental needs, cost, and other relevant considerations.
Sweep
(Seiso):
  • Thoroughly clean the workplace.
  • Use cleaning processes as a means of inspection.
  • Prevent deterioration of machinery and equipment.
  • Foster a safe and conducive working environment.
  • This principle can also be interpreted as “sweep.”
Straighten (Seiton):
  • Arrange all essential items systematically for easy retrieval and use.
  • Mitigate time wastage and minimize inefficiencies.
  • Facilitate the swift location and retrieval of necessary items.
  • Implement a first-come-first-serve approach.
  • Promote a smooth and streamlined workflow.
  • This principle can also be expressed as “set in order.”
