Abstract :
This paper deals with Implementation of 5S Methodology in one of the small-scale manufacturing industry Niraj Thermo Pvt. Ltd, D-63, MIDC Ambad, Nashik, Maharashtra, which is one of the leading manufacturer and exporter of thermocol products. 5S is a technique to arrange, order, clean, standardize and constantly enhance a work area. It specializes in five Japanese strategies particularly Seiri (Sorting), Seiton (Set in order), Seiso (Shine), Seiketsu (Standardize) and Shitsuke (Sustain). The objective of the Implementation of 5S in the company was to arrange the work area with better performance and effectiveness. The requirement for the implementation of 5S within the organization came into existence because of unorganized work-stations, uncomfortable operating environment and also the excessive wastes within the company. Thus, to get rid-off on the above factors, there was imperative demand for the consecutive implementation of 5S within the organization. The implementation resulted in increase in productivity upto 25%, increase in storage space upto 30% and reduction in cycle time upto 1.5hrs.
