To repeat: <strong>Kaizen<\/strong> (from the Japanese &#8220;Kai&#8221; for &#8220;change&#8221; and &#8220;Zen&#8221; for &#8220;for the better&#8221;) is a management approach to continuous change and improvement, which led to great success in the lean production of Japanese car manufacturers and has been applied in this part of the world since the 1990s as &#8220;CIP&#8221; (continuous improvement process) in all areas of production and quality management. One of the CIP methods is the 5S method, which originated in the Toyota Production System and is the Japanese method for cleanliness, order and safety. The 5S cycle involves going through the five steps of <strong>S<\/strong>orting, <strong>S<\/strong>etting, <strong>S<\/strong>hining, <strong>S<\/strong>tandardizing and <strong>S<\/strong>elf-discipline (in the Japanese original: <strong>S<\/strong>eiri, <strong>S<\/strong>eiton, <strong>S<\/strong>eiso, <strong>S<\/strong>eiketsu and <strong>S<\/strong>hitsuke).<\/p>\n<p>According to the equation &#8220;<strong>Safety = Order + Cleanliness<\/strong>&#8220;, the 5S can significantly increase safety in the workplace. However, not only does the risk of accidents decrease, but orderliness and cleanliness are also considered a basic prerequisite for quality or the achievement of defined quality standards, reduction of the throughput or lead time, increase in efficiency and thus a significant reduction in costs. Search times are decreased, errors are avoided, transport efforts are reduced, and unexpected failures of machines and equipment can in many cases be prevented or detected in time by regular cleaning. <strong>With the 5S method, workflows can be streamlined, productivity increased, and business processes optimized.<\/strong> <em>How does this

This step is an ongoing task that consists of adhering to the established rules, monitoring them, and identifying potential for improvement, similar to the PDCA cycle. A good practice here is to conduct a 5S audit. In order to ensure a uniform assessment and follow-up for a large number of projects and areas, the use of a tool for standardization and automation is recommended at this point at the latest.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-932521c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"932521c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;4e6ff9b&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_laptop&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_tablet&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_mobile&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:50,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_type&quot;:&quot;scroll&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_direction&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_fx_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_z_index&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_laptop&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_laptop&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_laptop&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_animation_prop&quot;:&quot;transform&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;]}]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0dba93a\" data-id=\"0dba93a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f436ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8f436ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How you can digitalize your 5S walk-throughs and audits with MSO management software<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a650e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7a650e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You may have already learned why companies rely on freely configurable and scalable no-code software in our last blog post (read it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mso.de\/en\/blog\/professional-articles\/why-companies-rely-on-freely-configurable-and-scalable-no-code-software\/\">here<\/a> now). With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mso.de\/en\/\">MSO management software<\/a> you can create, automate, control and evaluate individual solutions for the implementation of strategies, programs, projects, measures and processes thanks to a freely configurable and scalable framework. The framework offers you countless application possibilities: no matter what industry, organizational form or size, no matter what company structures, market segments or products and no matter how many topics, no matter how complex or simple. The philosophy behind it is always &#8220;<strong>configure instead of program<\/strong>&#8221; (no-code).<\/p>\n<p>A single such application possibility would now be, for example, that you would like to digitalize and automate your walk-throughs as part of the 5S method, as just described.
