Abstract

A useful tool for organizing jobs is the 5S methodology, which is essentially a program structured in five stages to obtain systematically: organization, cleanliness and standardization in the workplace, thus contributing to improving productivity, reducing quality nonconformities and job security problems, being a method that involves employees from all hierarchical levels using standards and discipline. Seiketsu is the fourth S in the 5S series and resets a suitable environment for safe and efficient work by establishing a set of standards to maintain optimized conditions and practices in the work area. Seiketsu aims to maintain high standards of organization in the workplace and should be understood as a set of well-defined work rules. Standards must make deviations visible, so visual management is often used.
