5S Housekeeping Lean Technique by Using System Dynamics Method

Abstract

The 5S housekeeping lean technique is considered to improve the plant performance and optimize the overall productivity. The current study examines the active significance of the 1S (sorting) in the industry using system dynamics process. In order to measure the performance output effect of 1S, a system dynamic approach is used for a manufacturing sector presented in the form of the case study. The aim of the system dynamic process was to analyze the outcome of plant performance prior to the implementation of the 5S lean philosophy. The manufacturing sector which is new to introduce the implementation of lean tools can easily replica ethereal-life results by using SD (system dynamics) approach. The current study demonstrates a methodology based on a simulation that ease the standardized effective improvement, implementation and sustaining of 5S lean initiative to improve quality, streamline production, and optimize efficiencies.
