Organization “5S activities”

｜Organizations

People form organizations because there are limits to what a single person can accomplish in meeting the specific needs of a society, community, or individual.  

Each organization carries out various activities within society in order to fulfill its own specific objectives.

In other words, if there is an existence within the organization that becomes an obstacle to the organization's purpose, or an organization that tolerates its existence, it will eventually cease to function as an organization.

The three elements for an organization to achieve its objectives are (1) that the participating individuals share the purpose (organizational purpose), (2) that they have the desire to contribute to the achievement of the purpose (willingness to contribute), and that they are always able to communicate appropriately (3) that they are able to communicate appropriately (information sharing).

In addition, organizational culture is a shared value that is implicitly derived from activities to achieve a purpose.

｜5S Activities

At Benkan, we are working to establish "5S activities" as an organizational culture.

"5S activities" is an initial letter S of the five words "sort," "set in order," "shine," "standardize," and "sustain."

The concept is that "there are only things that are necessary for the workplace, there are certain things in a fixed place at all times, and it is easy to work if it is well cleaned," and it can be said that it is a practice of "normality" that has been taught since childhood.

■ Finishing

It's about sorting out what you need and what you don't need, and then throwing away or putting away what you don't need.

Only the things that are necessary for the workplace are used, and there are no obstructive objects that interfere with them, and accidents such as falls can be prevented.

■ Rectification

It is to arrange the necessary things in an orderly manner and make them clear so that anyone can understand them.

You can see at a glance where everything is, and you can expect to improve the efficiency of your work.

■ Cleaning

It is to clean and keep it clean and free of dirt and dirt.

A clean workplace should feel good for employees and visitors.

■ Cleaning

It is to clean and keep it clean and free of dirt and dirt.

It's not just a temporary thing when you're organized, tidy, and cleaned, but it's important to keep it that way at all times.

This will help improve operational efficiency, prevent accidents, improve the work environment, and raise awareness.

■ Discipline

It is a habit that allows you to thoroughly continue to do what you have decided.

In other words, it is the creation of a system and education that all employees take for granted to organize, tidy, clean, and clean.

｜Strengthening Organizational Capabilities

An organization is a group of people who work together to accomplish a specific common purpose.

However, in reality, it is not easy to be conscious of what you have decided to accomplish and continue to do so.

The important thing here is to make it a habit to do what you need to do, or don't do what you shouldn't do.

By making it a habit, you will be able to continue doing it naturally without even thinking about it. 

We believe this will also lead to stronger organizational strength.

It is said that there are characteristics of workplaces where 5S activities are established.

(1) Anyone can see the status, plan, and progress of things at a glance.

(2) The workplace is well cleaned and has a sense of cleanliness.

(3) There is a system that allows employees to protect the 5S.

(4) Employees are lively and cheerful.

(5) All employees can explain the definition of 5S.

(6) Regular 5S activity events.

From the above, making 5S activities part of the organizational culture will definitely strengthen organizational strength, so we will continue to work on 5S activities through continued activities.
