Chapter 2
Set in Order
Stage 2
The second stage of 5S is Set in Order. Set in Order is the act of creating locations
for all essential items needed in the work area. It is the act of organizing what is
needed so it is easily identiable in a designated place. During this phase, it is
recommended that the implementation team work from the oor up, focusing on
the layout of the area rst.
It is at this point in the implementation when work areas, aisleways, and oor
locations are established. Once this is complete, then smaller items such as tools,
supplies, xtures, and parts are given home locations.
Everything has a home.
