Lean Manufacturing: 5s Technique

After

Before

While cleaning Enrique's room, we applied the lean 5s technique. This helped us to be more efficient and clean the room in less time. In the following lines, we include a description of the first three steps.

Sort:

We divided the room in parts, so that each person was responsible to clean an specific place. Communication between the team was really useful in cleaning the room.

Set in order:

We arranged the material so that they were the most accesible as possible, and throw stuff that we do not needed. We placed each material where it needed to be (at the shelves, desk, etc.).

Shine:

Then we cleaned the floor and throw the trash so that accidents won't occur. Finally, we used specific cleaning products, like the vacuum cleaner and wood polisher, so the room would be really neat.

Now Enrique's room is safe and clean.
