IMPLEMENTING 5S IN PRODUCTION AT BSPPT

In the manufacturing sector, optimizing the workspace, increasing productivity, and ensuring product quality are key factors determining a company’s success. At BSPPT, we apply the 5S management method to improve the working environment, minimize waste, and enhance production efficiency.

Sorting helps categorize and eliminate unnecessary items in the workplace, keeping only essential tools, materials, and equipment. This not only optimizes space but also reduces occupational safety risks and improves production efficiency.

2. Seiton

After sorting, all items, equipment, and materials must be organized systematically according to the principles: Easy to Find – Easy to See – Easy to Take – Easy to Check – Easy to Return. Proper arrangement helps reduce search time, minimize errors, and ensure smooth production processes.

Maintaining cleanliness in the production area is crucial for ensuring product quality and protecting workers’ health. BSPPT encourages employees to regularly inspect, clean machinery, equipment, and workspaces to maintain the best working conditions.
