An Experimental Examination of ‘5S’ Technique for Continuous Improvement of the Manufacturing Process

Abstract

 Abstract. Lean manufacturing is the way of continuous improvement, provide support and execution of lean production system. This technique focused on improving quality of products, minimum cost, customer satisfaction and eliminating waste in industry. This research helps out to find out the various strategies of lean manufacturing. The main objective of this research paper is to study and analysis of improvements in waste reduction a well as improving productivity using 5S technique for an automobile ancillary unit for its production shop floor producing components from where the entire data is abstracted by applying 5S evolution methodology. Furthermore, the features and classification of 5Stechnique is discussed.

Impact of the 5S methodology in the optimization of resources in metalworking companies

“…Este estudio se aplicó en una empresa de similares características a la empresa analizada. De igual forma [18] sugiere mejoras en una planta manufacturera aplicando la herramienta 5S. Otro estudio también indica que el compromiso y apoyo de la alta dirección influye positivamente en la implementación de la metodología 5S, invitando a los altos directivos a todas las jornadas de capacitación durante el programa piloto [19].…”
