How to clean according to the principles of Kaizen Bashny.Net

 

Kaizen is a practice that was invented in the factories of Toyota to bring workflows to perfection, with minimal cost to the organization of production. As was stated principles to the absence of large warehouses, permanent quality control at every stage of the work, monitor the process of in search of flaws and much more. Including system 5S, which usually begins the study and implementation of the Kaizen system.

5S: sorting, arrangement, cleaning, standardization and improvement — the principles on which to build the perfect job.

At home we have lessons no less than at work, so why not use the useful tips for personal purposes? 5S is sometimes perceived only as a mandatory cleaning jobs at the end of the working day, so the results are not visible. What sense to spread things out, if they are inconvenient to use! No, using a simple cleaning of a car not to collect.

5S is a tool of workplace organization for effective execution of the functions.

Cleaning according to the principles of Kaizen should give some results. You should receive more space, daily activities will become easier to run and maintain the house clean will become a natural habit. Kaizen involves the endless pursuit of excellence, so do not expect that after one General cleaning your home will Shine. Kaizen is introduced gradually and will take time.

The goal here, not just to make pure. The main task is to create a space in your apartment or in your home, which will be convenient and easy to clean. You need to do not so much. And much to think about. Your decisions will depend on the speed and comfort of cleaning.

The tools that you need to stock up before cleaning: colored stickers (they will perform the role of a Kanban — icon, marking the object), enthusiasm, and willingness to turn the usual order. Go to the 5S system.

1. Sortirovka, a clear division of things into necessary and unnecessary, and from the last you want to quickly get rid of.

How to do it? First you need to free up space in the middle of the room, there will temporarily send things for which no place. Then determine the area with which to begin sorting. Be sure to take the situation in which you operate. If it is a Desk — sit in the chair. If that closet — get up in front of the mirror. If it's a kitchen — stand at the sink or at the stove. This is the starting point where you will decide how and what to do with things. Take up any subject and answer a few questions:

• How I need this item?
• Whether this subject here?
• How often do I use it?
• When I took it in hand last time?

If an object is necessary in this place, is often used and should be at arm's length, mark it with a green sticker. Necessary items that are rarely used, mark it yellow.

If the subject was not necessary in this place, move it to where it needs to be. If you don't know where to send it now, stick the orange and fold in the middle of the room. If you did not take the subject in hand more than six months, he will get a red mark.

What to do about red marks? Best to throw it away. Kaizen philosophy is incompatible with large reserves, one of its tenets — reduce storage space. Of course, not so simple. Sometimes a lack of reserves is not profitable, but we used to put "just in case" old stuff, broken equipment, and suddenly come in handy?

Throw away junk and debris have no mercy!

Give an honest answer to the question, when you're finished embroidering this pillow that started back in school at a lesson of needlework? When you collect from two broken the third fan working? Will come again when the fashion for this dress, which is still nothing? It's now or never. Enough to throw away all the garbage that the house has become much cleaner. In the end, to keep in the house a dusty Museum unprofitable: count just for comparison, how much is the annual rent a few square meters in your area.

2. Compliance with the order or sistematizzazione things should be kept so you can quickly find and use. This is ergonomics in its pure form, only your experience and your practice are here to help. When you put things in its place, it is important to break free from patterns that have been embodied in the behavior. If you are used that the chair is always the right of the sofa, because he always put your parents think maybe you should place the chair where it will be convenient to you?

To know that you are wrong to put things very simply. If the same object is constantly is not in his place, it's just not his place. Your task is to find for each thing is the space in which it will be convenient to return. When the subject is conveniently not just take, but to put it back, clarity is brought to automatism.

If items are used together, store them close by. Closer — with the green markers. With the yellow out. To get to any object with a green tag should be easy, the trajectory of your movements should be very simple. For example, a box of jewelry fits on the top shelf, but you get it every day, and the shelves need to reach. So, it's not the place.

Put similar items into containers. For each drawer, determine its purpose. If you keep the equipment, do not put back the documents. Distribute your documents in different folders. And don't be lazy to sign boxes and folders!

Don't be afraid to spend money on functional furniture and high-quality tools. Good furniture is half of your success. During the harvest immediately to change the situation will not work, but you will be able to outline a plan of changes.

Take your time. Kaizen — incremental change, not revolutionary change.

3. Contents clean

Consider the steps that will help every day to keep the house in order. For example, if in the Cabinet between the shelves the distance is too great, then the large pile of things confused and rumpled. To prevent this from happening, change the distance between shelves and make it less you to fit on them the same things, and a crush, they will not. Given the prevalence of mebelnoe atele this task will be difficult for you.

If you have a lot of rooms, every it makes sense to put the waste basket. So overcome apathy: when the paper from the table do not want to carry to the garbage, just drop them in the basket under the table, and once a day collect waste from the entire apartment.

Identify the sources of debris, crumbs, and dirt and put barriers in the way: lay the mats in front of the door or select the place for the scoop and brush around the kitchen table, not to run him in another room whenever I need to sweep up.

Little things that reduce our work, seem to be an easy decision for the lazy. But even if you are ready to wash the floor any second, they will save your time.

4. Standardization

Rules of cleaning and cleanliness should be mandatory for all, and good decisions need to standardize and apply in practice. The house is unlikely to hang the instructions and collect signatures from all family members under the schedules of the cleaning, but to pin the responsibility for one area of work in oral form will be useful. To get few people like. But knowingly we look for solutions for the lazy.

Standardize system of incentives: if someone offers a new ergonomic solution, it is necessary to celebrate this award. Especially well the method works when you need to stimulate children. Children's imagination is the best source of customized solutions, even if we are talking about cleaning.

5. Sovershenstvovaniia system needs to become a habit, to want to make the house better with each cleaning. It makes no sense every week to sort all the things in the apartment, but to repeat a General cleaning with the application of color tags is useful once in a few months. Include in budget planning tools to update your furniture and repair. Draw the layout of things and not be afraid to make changes. Evaluate the results using before and after photos.

Kaizen principles not discover America. They are based entirely on common sense and experience. But they are included in the unified system that we all somehow already used (or at least try).

If you want to put them on the desktop, and saw that cleaning takes a lot of time and effort, I want to drop everything and go back to the old disorder. But it's best to analyze the causes of difficulties, to put a smaller table or have a special shelf for storing paper. So it is possible to improve the workplace, and yourself along with them indefinitely. This will be the philosophy of Kaizen in action for you personally. published
