Vision of Level 4

The 5S system becomes self-sustaining and stabilized.  Documentation is available, reliable and known to all.  Improvement is on-going and work processes are documented and stabilized.  Reviews are regularly scheduled and conducted, and everyone is taking responsibility for process improvement.  The cultural shift is evident.

 

Definition of Level Four

Sorting, Sweeping and Simplifying activities result in the documentation of 5S procedures.  Standardizing is the documentation and standardization of work processes  the formalization of reliable methods.  Cultural shift is evidenced by process stabilization, and workforce attitude and morale.
