Abstract
In a lean manufacturing environment there are lot techniques, methodologies and philosophies been applied. One of the most important is the 5’S, that is focused to improve the work site order for mechanical tools, keep a clean work site, standardized work among others, that are important for a good maintenance program. This chapter is focused to describe a 5’S program, the implementation process, and illustrates an example that was applied to an industry in Colombia.
