You’re almost there: 5S principles<\/a> have been implemented in all workstations and offices throughout the plant, and all employees have all the necessary tools to work efficiently and safely. The last step? Applying the 5th<\/sup> S, Sustain (Shitsuke<\/em> in Japanese), recurrently. We have tested five applications for you that will help you accomplish this task.<\/p>\n

5S, organization method of workstations<\/h3>\n

To put yourself in the situation, let’s take a look at this table to get a better idea of \u200b\u200bwhat are the 5S and where the follow-up is compared to 4 others. Click on the image to enlarge it and print it as needed.<\/p>\n

The 5th S: sustain<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The last S is often perceived as the hardest to apply, as it involves remaining steadfast in keeping up good practices<\/a>. As such, it’s often the most neglected.<\/p>\n

The process is akin to someone who decides to start training to get in shape. The person chooses the best way to reach their objectives, develops a plan, and acts on it. If the initial plan is not followed and the person derails from their goals, the result (getting into shape) is compromised. As such, the “Sustain” step of the 5S calls upon self-discipline to continue good habits. Without this 5th<\/sup> pillar, the efficiency of the other S’s is reduced.<\/p>\n

We tested five apps for you<\/h3>\n

To make the job more comfortable for the manager who will guide each employee in evaluating their workstation, here are a few applications to help carry out the audit and the follow-up after the audit. They can be installed on a smartphone or tablet.<\/p>\n

The mobile app is essential for a 5S audit. There are several available for iPhone or Android, and we have reviewed a few of them for you.<\/p>\n
