Atricle Dump - 5S Workplace Organization in the Office and Plant
The opening up of retail trade for foreign direct investment (FDI) promises to usher in revolutionary changes to the Indian consumer market in the days to come.Recently, in a significant step towards liberalizing India's retail trade, the government had decided to partially open the retail sector by announcing 51 percent FDI in single brand retailing – a move that should pave way for big names like Nike, Versace, Addidas, Marks & Spencer to set up their own stores in India.This means tha
According to the book Successful Marketing Strategies for Nonprofit Organization by Barry McLeish, nonprofit groups compete with each other in roughly four areas: quality of programs or technology, positioning of programs or products, quality of support services and price. Let's take a look at each of these areas and compare them with regard to how a for-profit company competes.Quality of programs or technology: Many times in a for-profit company, better technology is what puts you ahead of oth
5S Workplace Organization is one lean tool that is increasingly applied in the office as well as in the plant. The basic reason for this cross-border applicability stems from its title, Workplace Organization.
The key element of 5S is the getting rid of non-useful material that has accumulated in the workplace. The workplace occupants have become accustomed to files, documents, sales brochures, equipment, and supplier catalogs taking up valuable office space and being piled on top of cabinets, under desks, in back rooms, and on desks. Similarly production inventory, scrap, tools & jigs, and unused machinery accumulate on the shop floor. As well as being a hindrance to finding anything (which in itself is a waste inefficiency); the accumulation of "stuff" is a barrier to carrying out the essential tasks of business and constitutes a safety hazard.

The year 2004 was an exceptional one for the European Union (EU) with the historic enlargement to include ten new member states and the signature in Rome of the Treaty establishing for the first time an EU Constitution. That momentum continued into the first half of 2005, marked by the beginning of the ratification process for the European Constitution.The results of the various ratification processes of the proposed EU Constitution, either through parliament or via a referendum, have varied fr

American companies historically are driven to look at the bottom line. This is in contrast to German companies, which tend to focus on technology; or Japanese companies, which tend to focus on geography. While the bottom line focus does show a snapshot of company performance, it reveals nothing of what generated that final number OR what can be done to improve it. BUT we use it anyway to make many decisions, and we can be fooled by what it seems to be telling us.MORE THAN THE BOTTOM LINEWorkplace Organization.

...While "attitude" was enough to build the smaller Pyramids (like that of King Sneferu), the largest, grandest, and the only of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient world still standing, with a height of 450 feet and 756 feet square: The Great Pyramid of Khufu, needed more than just a great attitude.True greatness lies in self-actualization through workWhen work becomes choice, it no longer manifests itself as work. It is the convergence of personal desire and the actions we gladly take. As well as being a hindrance to finding anything (which in itself is a waste inefficiency); the accumulation of "stuff" is a barrier to carrying out the essential tasks of business and constitutes a safety hazard. A 5S red tag blitz quickly identifies what has to be removed from the workplace in what is called SORT, the first of the 5S's.
Once that is done, which in the office may include moving files to an archival area and in the plant bringing in a dumpster for scrapped items, SET IN ORDER, the second of the 5S's, which is having " a place for everything and everything in its place", brings organization to the workplace. Having observed the movements of the employees as they go about the essential elements of their duties, a spaghetti diagram brings to light a visual map of their movements. This stage of 5S sets the placement of tools, files, etc. in logical, ergonomically correct positions and makes the workplace organized. In the plant setting the use of painted / taped marking of aisles, material set down locations, work cell boundaries, and shadow boards for production tools and cleaning items is common.
