Lean uses the 5S technique for just-in-time production. The Five S’s (5S) of Lean create a well-organized, clean, efficient and effective workplace. The 5S includes:
- Sort (Seiri): Remove unnecessary materials from the workplace.
- Set in order (Seiton): Arrange all items in the correct order to ensure smooth operation.
- Shine (Seiso): Inspect the workplace regularly and keep it clean.
- Standardize (Seiketsu): Follow standard processes and practices in the workplace.
