Implementation of 5S in Infinity Management and Engineering College, Sagar

Abstract

This paper is made on the implementation of 5s in college to improve efficiency and make a continuous improvement in our society and our environments. In this paper we share our idea which we have used to carry out the 5S in college which can help you. The 5S is implemented in infinity management and engineering college, sagar. It has to be observed that it has a more change in college for staff and students such as efficiency, safety, security, quality, improvement of the machines. need for the implementation of ‘5S’ in the association came into reality due to unorganized work-stations, uncomfortable working environment and the excessive wastes in the institute. Hence to get rid-off of the above factors, there was an urgent need for the successive implementation of ‘5S’ in the association. The effective following on ‘5S’ in the organization by the various official staff and workman’s strengthens the work ethic between them resulting in the motivation towards teamwork. Method is analysed in the workplace and established the 5s sustaining cleaned and well-organized to all thing which is there in college. And other departments of the college are divided into many steps to keep up continuous improvement in college.

Introduction

• Lean Thinking: A philosophy focused on eliminating waste and improving efficiency.

• 5S Methodology: Developed in Japan by Hiroyuki Hirano, it includes:

  • Seiri (Sort) – Remove unnecessary items.

  • Seiton (Set in Order) – Organize needed items properly.

  • Seiso (Shine) – Clean the workspace.

  • Seiketsu (Standardize) – Establish standards for processes.

  • Shitsuke (Sustain) – Maintain discipline and continuous improvement.

2. Organization Overview

• IMEC (Infinity Management and Engineering College) is managed by Evolution Education Society.

• Mission: Regional socio-economic development and quality engineering education.

3. Problem Statement (Before 5S Implementation)

• Poor storage of raw materials.

• Time wasted managing student documents.

• Low floor productivity.

• Cluttered, dusty, and disorganized environments.

• No defined space for tools, rejected items, or materials.

4. 5S Implementation Methodology

A. S1 – SEIRI (Sort)

• Tagged all items:

  • Green Tag: Needed now.

  • Yellow Tag: Needed later (stored).

  • Red Tag: Unwanted (moved to discard area).

• Sorting applied across departments: Mechanical, Civil, ECE, and CSE.

• Maintained detailed records for future traceability.

B. S2 – SEITON (Set in Order)

• Organized tagged items:

  • Green → respective departments.

  • Yellow → storeroom.

  • Red → discard zone.

• Marked fixed locations for tools and materials.

• Trained staff to maintain organization.

• Clear visual order introduced (e.g., instrument racks labeled and sorted).

C. S3 – SEISO (Shine)

• Cleaned all labs and departments regularly.

• Assigned zones to staff for cleanliness responsibility.

• Created a 5S schedule for consistent cleaning routines.

• Green Campus Initiative: Used wastewater via drainage for tree irrigation, reducing manual watering.

5. Key Outcomes

• Organized and clutter-free workspaces.

• Improved storage and retrieval of tools and materials.

• Cleaner, greener, and safer campus.

• Increased productivity and teamwork among staff and students.

Conclusion

5S is successfully implemented in college workshop/lab and result shows systematic sorting all elements in workshop, and unwanted materials isgrouped together as in red tag zone. In this red tag zone elements is further sorted and discarded to scrape section. Therefore systematic storage of all mandatory material is done and which improves working normalisation. 5S is the most effective way to implement the standardization of college
