Introducing our manufacturing sites.
With the aim of maintaining not only quality but also a safe environment and productivity at our production sites, we are engaged in 5S activities and other workplace improvement activities on a daily basis. Some of these activities are introduced below.
5S Activities
What is "5S"?
The generic name for the five words beginning with the S’s of "seiri," "seiton," "seiso," "seiketsu," and "shitsuke," these refer primarily to actions that should be taken to improve and maintain the workplace environment in the manufacturing industry.
整理/Seiri
Separate what is necessary from what is unnecessary and put away what is unnecessary.
整頓/Seiton
Establish the correct placement of items so that they are available when needed.
清掃/Seisou
Constantly clean and make it easy to detect abnormalities.
清潔/Seiketsu
To create a system in which the 3Ss (Seiri, Seiton, and Seisou) can be repeated and maintained.
躾/Shitsuke

The 5S activities are implemented to improve the productivity of the entire work site by improving quality and work efficiency, reducing defective losses, and ensuring the safety of the work environment.
