Lean manufacturing (LM) comprises a set of tools and practices, which when implemented properly and fully, help to improve system performance. The 5S lean tool is one of such. It is an acronym for sort, set in order, shine, standardize and sustain. They are sometimes given different names than those listed here, but they mean the same thing. 5S helps to reduce non-value adding time, increase productivity and improve quality [1]. It has been used in the design of efficient facilities [2]. 5S techniques have been integrated with other lean tools to reduce changeover time [3]. The 5S lean technique can be summarized as follows [4,5]: 1. Sort- To organize things in order, for ease of storing and retrieval. 2. Set- To designate and clearly label where everything should be stored. Everything should be kept in its rightful place to eliminate the need for searching. 3. Shine- To keep everything clean and neat. 4. Standardize- To document the work methods and make the 5s part of the culture of the organization. 5. Sustain- To form a habit of continuous improvement procedures. If lean has not been firmly established in an organization, there is the tendency to go back to old ways of doing things. Lean practices that are meant to improve the system may be relegated in favor of ensuring more goods are processed. In the current article, we describe a simulation-based methodology that enables the systematic implementation, improvement and sustaining of 5S practices, while also improving throughput for a manufacturing system.
