Kyocera Perfect 5S Promotion Activities

Perfect 5S is at the heart of work (5S: Seiri - Sort; Seiton: Set in Order; Seiso: Shine; Seiketsu: Sanitize; Shitsuke: Sustain). Kyocera Group efforts to implement the Perfect 5S system are called "Perfect 5S Promotion Activities." They are being introduced globally. The Kyocera Group aims to become "The Company" — a corporation that stands out among other corporations and earns the respect of society.

The primary objectives of 5S activities are to maintain factories worthy of "The Company," and to increase awareness and heighten the sensitivity of each employee. Ultimately, this will raise product quality, improve productivity, improve the utilization ratios of production facilities, and create a work environment in which everyone can work safely and with peace of mind.

Perfect 5S Promotion System | Development of Independent Activity

	Perfect 5S Promotion System

The Perfect 5S Promotion Activities organization is made up of 5S Promotion Committees at all companies, offices and sections. Each 5S Promotion Committee discusses and decides on the details of activities, evaluates results of inspections, and advises on improvements.

	Development of Independent Activity

Perfect 5S Promotion Activities have heightened awareness and led to improvements. They create heightened sensitivity to slight abnormal sounds, vibrations, flaws, stains or other irregularities. Upon observance action can be taken promptly to restore the normal situation.

As a result of ongoing activity, the level of 5S management is rising. Activity has been established. Therefore, in FY2010 the Kyocera Group (in Japan) shifted from the mutual inspection method used until then, to an independent inspection method. With activity being undertaken independently by each base, 5S management levels are being sustained and continually improved.
