Study of 6s Concept and its Effect on Small Scale Industry

Abstract

The search for quality is never ending which involves continuous improvement process to find a way to restrict the reasons creating problems. These can be accomplished by going through stages instead of implementing a large improvement .The various concepts such as Kaizen, PDCA cycle, Quality circle, JIT, 5S, etc. Can be proven helpful in this type of improvement. Among all Kaizen have high level of difficulty as it requires huge potential steps. Due to this, as a foundation of "Kaizen" we study 6S concept. It is derived from concept of 5S. 6S concept have one more "S" which stands for safety with organization, surrounding and health. The merits of 6s concept are reduce in wastage, reduction in defects, soaring of productivity, morale of worker goes high, etc. This all combine resulted in gradual improvement of industry with reduction in environmental problems. Furthermore, it also reduced the cost of production and high product services.
