includes 5 steps which are to be followed sequentially.

– 1S - Seiri or Sort
– 2S - Seiton or Set In Order

– 4S - Seiketsu or Standardize
– 5S - Shitsuke or Sustain
• By Implementing 5S one will get to know how cleanliness,

Quantity
Step 2 : Entry in Red tag Register
Step 3 : Assign Red Tag area and
dump the scrap
It aims at taking out unnecessary items and dumping it
into garbage(i.e Red Tagging)
7. • Red tag anything that is not needed !
• In manufacturing departments that
means checking stock, machines,
equipment, particular locations such as
shelves , etc.
• In clerical departments it includes
documents, stationery and machines .

people, even if you are sometimes
tempted to!
