1s- Sorting
Separating the needed from
the unneeded. Sorting
activities aim to eliminate
unneeded items from the
work area and to perform an
initial cleaning.
2s- Simplifying

at a glance” what is right and what is out of place.
It also must make doing the work easier.
Implementing 5S occurs in two phases: initial
implementation and later refinement
