unneeded items.
Sort (Seiri): Remove all items from the workplace that are not needed for current production. If it has been sitting and not used for a year it probably needs to be put in storage.

Set in Order(Seiton)Arrange
Set in order (Seiton): Arrange needed items so that they are easy to find and put away. Some factories and shops go as far as painting a spot for the trash can. May seem silly, but if the trash can is in the right place no one trips over it. Items used often are placed closer to the employee. Whether it is a stapler or hammer, keep the tools you use often within easy reach.

Shine (Seiso)Clean
Shine (Seiso): Make sure everything is clean, functioning and ready to go. Nothing is more frustrating and time consuming than working with a piece of equipment that is not properly maintained.

The 5-S SystemStandardize
(Seiketsu)Method
Standardize (Seiketsu): This is the method you use to maintain the first three S’s. Just like your silverware at home is always in the same drawer; decide a place to store routinely used items and keep them there. This saves time when looking for the tape measure or scissors.

The 5-S SystemSustain
(Shitsuke)Maintain
Sustain (Shitsuke): Make a habit of properly maintaining correct procedures. The hardest step for most people, now that everything is organized, is maintaining it every day. Put things back when you are done. If you can’t do that at least put things back in place before you leave each day.
