Purpose In this extra credit assignment, you will apply concepts and deepen your understanding of 5S.

Tasks Review notes and/or videos before starting assignment. Visit to http://5salphabetgame.blogspot.ca/ to play the game. Review all of the instructions before starting the simulation. Instructions: Click begin "Current As-Is" state - everything is jumbled together...a mess! Click start and you need to find all of the capital letters from A - Z as fast as possible. Note how far you got after this step. Click the arrow pointing to the right Now everything has been "sorted". Click start and you need to find all of the capital letters from A - Z as fast as possible. Note how far you got after this step. Click the arrow pointing to the right Now everything has been "set in order". Click start and you need to find all of the capital letters from A - Z as fast as possible. Note how far you got after this step. Click the arrow pointing to the right Now everything has been "standardize". Click start and you need to find all of the capital letters from A - Z as fast as possible. Note how far you got after this step...and if you have any time left over! :) Click the arrow pointing to the right Now you are back to the jumbled mess. You will now find the error. You need to find the missing capital letters. Note if you were able to find the missing letters and how long it took you to find.

Question 1

Sort

How are 5S concepts applied at this step? How does this help achieve your objective? What letter were you able to get to in the time alotted?

Question 2

Set in Order

How are 5S concepts applied at this step? How does this help achieve your objective? What letter were you able to get to in the time allotted?

Question 3

Standardize

How are 5S concepts applied at this step? How does this help achieve your objective? What letter were you able to get to in the time allotted?

Question 4

Find the Error

Explain how applying 5S would have helped achieve the objective in this step faster. Were you able to find the defects in this step? If so, how long did it take.

Question 5 5 S Reflection

List the 5 S's missing in this simulation? Explain how these concepts could be applied with an example.
