IMPLEMENTATION OF 5S IN WORKSHOP AT DMIETR- A CASE STUDY

Production Engineering

The research work carried out to apply the 5S methodology of lean manufacturing to solve the problems of WORKSHOP at DMIETR with the aim of proper space utilization and elimination of waste in the workshop. The objectives of the project are organizing the workplace, shortening of the time of seeking necessary things such as tools, equipment and stationary, safety improvement, clean workplace. Also eliminate duplication of unwanted and unneeded material. Before and after implementation picture are taken for the applying 5S methodology in a workplace. Workshop consists of Store room, Machine shop, Carpentry shop, Thermal lab, Project lab, Smithy shop and Foundry shop.5S implementation has been carried out in Store room &Foundry shop. During 5s study many opportunities of improvement were found such as waste & unwanted scrap, improper operating conditions& arrangement of machines, tools, equipment etc. After implementing of 5S in the store room and foundry shop the workspace became efficient and effective, shortening of the time of seeking necessary things, proper space utilization, safety improvement, clean workplace, and improvement of the work environment.
