Improvement of a Shipyard with Introducing 5S Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 5S method is a sophisticated Japanese tool for optimisation and improvement of the production process. The purpose of applying the 5S method is to increase the efficiency on the micro-level, keeping workplace clean, in order and accessible. The results are reflected in drastic increase of safety, space utilization, productivity, pride and Kaizen thinking; and drastic reduction of waste, defects, errors, and unnecessary action. This method is one of the foundations of introducing the concept of Lean Production. This article provides an example of applying the 5S method in a shipyard.

متن کاملEmergency Control in Shipyard Safety Systems
Large shipyards for gigantic cruise ships require a special attention to safety due to the huge number of workers involved and to the complex structure of spaces. A critical issue of such environments is to keep the environment under control to avoid a disordered evacuation in case of an emergency. After introducing the basic issues related to safety in shipyards, we discuss the design of an in...
