5S METHODOLOGY

       5S is a methodology for organizing workplaces so that work can be done efficiently, effectively, and safely. This system focuses on putting everything where it belongs and keeping the workplace clean, which makes it easier for people to do their jobs without wasting time or risking injury.

5S is a workplace organization method that contains a list of five Japanese words i.e. Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke.

       5S means, “a place for everything and everything in its place" .Implementing 5S raises product quality and improves work productivity, resulting in lower costs and higher efficiencies.

    It doesn't need any technical analysis and can be implemented in all types of companies, ranging from manufacturing plants to offices, small businesses to large multinational organizations and in both private and public sectors.



History of 5S

        5S was developed in Japan by Japanese inventor Taiichi Ohno in early 1980’s. He was Toyota engineer who is also known as the Father of 5S. And also known as the father of Japanese industrial revolution. Earlier it was used by Toyota Production system, later it was adopted by many organizations globally. Toyota engineer Taiichi Ohno, spent the decades after the world war II exploring ways to trim the fat in Toyota’s manufacturing processes. And came up with this system also known as “Toyota Production System” or “Lean Manufacturing”.

5S Interpretation (Japanese)

  • Seiri
  • Seiton
  • Seiso
  • Seiketsu
  • Shitsuke

5S Interpretation (English)

  • Sort
  • Set in Order
  • Shine
  • Standardize
  • Sustain

Benefits of 5S -

  • Reduced costs
  • Higher quality
  • Increased productivity
  • Greater employee satisfaction
  • A safer work environment
  • Proper utilization of space

IGNITION SYSTEMS

Ignition system is a system in an internal combustion engine that produces the spark to ignite the mixture of fuel and air.  It includes the battery, ignition coil, distributor, spark plugs, and associated switches and wiring.  It is a part of the electrical system which carries the electrical current to a current plug.  It gives the spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture at the correct time Ignition Function:   It produces 30,000 volt spark across spark plug  It Distributes high voltage spark to each spark plug in correct sequence  Time of the spark occurs when piston is near to top dead center  Spark timing varies with load, speed, and other conditions Basic Ignition System: The components in ignition system are as follow:  Battery,  Switch ignition distributor  Ignition coil  Spark plugs and  Necessary wiring Ignition System types: A battery of 12 volts is generally employed. However, a very high voltage surge (of...

CLUTCH

          Clutch is a mechanical device that facilitates transmission of power and motion from one component (the driving member) to another (the driven member) when engaged, with a provision for disengagement whenever required. Function of Clutch: It can be disengaged. This allows engine cranking and permits the engine to run without delivering power to the transmission.  While disengaging, it permits the driver to shift the transmission into various gear according to operating condition.  While engaging, the clutch slips momentarily. this provides smooth engagement and lessens the shock on gears, shaft and other parts of automobile.  While engaging, the clutch transmits the power to the wheel without slipping, in ideal condition. Main Parts of Clutch: These are known as the principle parts of the clutch. • Driving Member  • Driven Member  • Operating Member Driving Member: Driving member has a flywheel which is mounted on...

LUBRICATION SYSTEM

The moving parts of an I.C engine are likely to wear off due to continuous rubbing action of one part with another. In order to avoid an early wearing of the engine parts, a proper lubrication arrangement is provided in I.C. engines. Lubrication is an art of admitting a lubricant (oil, grease, etc.) between two surfaces that are in contact and in relative motion The main parts of an automotive engine require lubrication are: Main crankshaft bearings Big end bearings Gudgeon pin bearings  Piston rings and cylinder walls Camshaft and camshaft bearings Timing Gears Valve mechanism  Purpose of Lubrication: It reduces wear and tear of the moving parts. It damps down the vibrations of the engine. It dissipates the heat generated from the moving parts due to friction. It cleans the moving parts. It makes the piston gas-tight. Properties of Lubricant: Suitable viscosity Should not react with lubricating surfaces No tendency to form deposits by reacting with air, water, fue...
