Abstract

The 5S method is a key component of the lean. The lean manufacturing process is a proven approach to more efficient workspaces adopted by leading manufacturers worldwide. The concept of lean is more value for less work. The objective of this work was to use 5S methodology to manage, and improve the working conditions of fastener production area in a fastener company. This directly results in improvement of process performance. To accomplish the goal, the authors focused on the implementation of 5S method as one of the lean tool. In order to develop a better organization of the workspace, and its utilization, the authors have focused on finding the weakest point of the system through which the overall efficiency of the system will be affected. A study was carried out in the case company to calculate its efficiency using 5S methodology, and to find out the weakest point on production area. Thus, the results after applying the proposed methodology estimates the production system efficiency as 75.64%.

Keywords
