Answer:-
- 5 Ss system of waste elimination
The 5Ss are as follows:
- Sort/segregate – Keep what is needed and remove everything else from the work area; when in doubt, throw it out. Identify non-value items and remove them. Getting rid of these items makes space available and usually improves the work flow.
- Simplify/straighten – Arrange and use analysis tools to improve the work flow and reduce wasted motion. Consider long-run and short-run ergonomic issues. Label and display for easy use only what is needed in the immediate work area.
