5S shine involves more than pushing a broom around a work area once a week. It involves regular, usually daily, cleaning. The work area should be returned to the condition it was in when the day started – including putting away all tools, materials and supplies used that day. While cleaning it’s easy to inspect the machines, tools, equipment, and supplies you work with. This emphasizes that 5S shine is not just the job of a janitor or a cleaning crew, it is everyone’s responsibility. When done on a regular, frequent basis, cleaning and inspecting generally will not take a lot of time, and in the long run will most likely save time.
