Abstract
The research paper pertains to the implementation of “5S Housekeeping” in the Sheet Metal Workshop of a manufacturer/supplier of Hero MotoCorp Ltd. The objective for the implementation of 5S arises due to reasons like uneasy work environment, excessive wastage, and inefficient workstations in the company. Therefore, in order to efficiently work on the above-mentioned factors arises the need to implement 5S in the organization. The reduction of 7 wastes defined by Toyota is a major part of the process. The effective implementation and follow-through for 5S in the workshop by all staff members work as a catalyst for improving work ethics, fundamental practices, manufacturing performance and in-house capability. After the implementation of this technique, a visible improvement in the working conditions and employee satisfaction is achieved.
