AVALIAÇÃO DO USO DA METODOLOGIA 5S: um estudo de caso no setor de ferramentaria e manutenção em Varginha/MG

Abstract

This work discusses the "5S" methodology as an effective approach to improving organization, efficiency and quality in the workplace. Originated in the Toyota Production System, 5S consists of five principles: Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu and Shitsuke. Successful implementation of these principles is the first step, but sustainable maintenance over time is challenging. The article analyzes the sustainability of 5S in a company in Varginha, in the Tooling and Maintenance sector, exploring influential factors and effective strategies to ensure the continuity of the benefits of 5S. The relevance of this research lies in its contribution to the understanding of how companies can not only adopt, but also sustainably maintain the principles of 5S, positively influencing operations, quality and organizational culture, as well as workplace safety and competitiveness.
