What is 6S Workplace for Administrative Areas?
6S for the Office is a systematic approach to improving office organization, ordering, cleanliness, and standardization while simultaneously improving office efficiency and reducing lead times.
The 6S System for Administrative Areas includes the following activities:
Safety - identifying and eliminating unsafe conditions
Sorting - evaluating the need for items currently located within the targeted area and removing unnecessary items
Setting in Order - arranging the necessary items in the most logical and most efficient configuration. Also encompasses setting inventory limits, making location indicators, establishing reorder points, etc.
Shine - cleaning everything in the selected area and using cleaning to ensure office equipment and area cleanliness are maintained
Standardization - creating uniformity in the way work within the targeted area is performed and incorporating the first three S's into everyone's daily routines by creating visual displays, checklists and processing controls.
Sustainment - creating accountability for the preservation and continuance of the 6S System through self-discipline, training, communication and total employee involvement.

misplaced or lost orders, quotes and other documents due to an unorganized office environment
