Ade Asefeso MCIPS MBA Published His New Book 5s Home

March 6, 2013 - PRLog -- 5s Home. Why 5s?

That’s the question that Ade Asefeso answers in his new book “5s Home”

Ade said “The 5S process of Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain is a lean manufacturing process in use by the Toyota Production System for decades. The premise of 5S is to help organize and improve the work conditions of a workplace. Yet this process can also be used for home as well. These steps can help you get your home organized now and keep it that way in the future.”

Ade also talked about the 5 elements of 5S as stated below:

“Sort: The sorting process requires getting everything in your home up and out of the place of clutter. Probably the best thing to do here is use a 3 bin or bag system. The 3 bags to sort your clutter is 1) Throw away 2) Storage 3) Keep handy. Start with one room at a time. Quickly put clutter things into each of these 3 containers.”

“Set in Order: Next step is taking those containers and putting back the contents in an orderly manner. This means that everything useful has a place. Put it in a proper place that is easy to access. If it is storage use proper boxes and containers. You may find that you are throwing away most stuff in this step and have a lot of new room in your home now.”

“Shine: Now that everything is picked up and orderly here is the cleaning step. Clean everywhere in the rooms. This will get your home nice and new feeling. The fruits of your labour are really showing here.”

“Standardize: The next two steps deal with making sure your home doesn't get cluttered again in the future. Standardize deals with defining the places for your Keep Handy and Storage things in your home. Use labels here to keep things organized. Colour code common used items. Peg boards are handy for hanging garage artefacts and washroom items. The idea here is that all of your items have a home within the home for easy location and more importantly easy place to be set up when done using it.”

“Sustain: To sustain 5S is making sure that things are kept up on a regular basis. Here you may want to jot down some daily, weekly, and monthly things that are required to keep the home in order. For instance you may want to jot down SHINE a different room on each day, or weekly chores or monthly maintenance of household heating and cooling. Write down your tasks and keep it in an easy to access place. Perhaps a clipboard so that you can track your progress.”

Ade spent a lot of his time representing various companies either at supply chain level, operational level, sales and marketing level, and senior executive level across Asia, North America, Africa, Eastern and Western Europe.
