Set to order “The second 5S Pillar”

Set to Order Means : Arranging items needed so they are easy to use and labelling them so they are easy to find and store.

Setting to order eliminates many types of waste:Motion waste

• Searching for items

• Waste of human energy

• Waste of excessive inventory

• Waste of defective products

• Waste caused by unsafe conditions

When putting “set to Order” in place there is a need to “Standardise”. This means creating a consistent way to carry out tasks and activities.
 

Visual controls
 

The workplace needs to be in an orderly manner. This can be achieved using visual controls. A visual control is any communications device that tells operators at a glance how work should be done.

They many include simple instructions or controls that:

• Communicate where items belong (Shadow Boards)

• How many items belong there

• What the standard procedure is for an operation

• The status of the work in progress
