The 5S Numbers Game
A fun and exciting way to present the 5S concepts to our team!

2. Introduction
This is a simple training game we will use to show how to perform 5S and to drive home important key points
Hopefully you find it challenging (like the real-world) and have some fun along the way
Credits
This exercise is based on an exercise from which was adapted from one created by
Kirt Tassmer of Stanley Fastening Systems.
The original game was developed by RWD Technologies, Ltd.

6. Report Out – Round 1
Record your highest number found and a comment on your Overall Scorecard sheet
The instructor will ask for your score – the lowest score is what’s recorded for the entire group
What was it like trying to do this? How did it feel?
How can we apply this to everyday life?

7. Were there any quality issues?2 8 23
Is this an 8, 88, 4, 84??? 84 3 88 92 7 13 36 97 14 17 52 19 65 12 34 11 62 32 15 28 95 21 24

8. Sort To sort through, to sort out
Guideline: If it is not needed in the next 30 days, Orange Tag it
“When in doubt, move it out!”
5S Orange Tag Technique
Place a Orange Tag on the item and move it to the 5S Orange Tag Holding Area
Items will be dispositioned: keep, throw out, donate, scrap, shred, recycle, etc.

9. 2 8 23 84 3 88 92 7 13 36
Let’s orange tag the numbers we don’t need (51-100) and the duplicate 39. 97 19 14 17 52 65 12 34 11 62 32 15 28 95 21 24 22 25 82 64 93 39 43 58 41 98 54 99 31 35

11. 2 8 23 84 3 88 92 7 13 36
Now let’s move them to the 5S Orange Tag Holding Area. 97 19 14 17 52 65 12 34 11 62 32 15 28 95 21 24 22 25 82 64 93 39 43 58 41 98 54 99 31 35

14. Instructions – Round 2
Let’s do the same exercise with the unneeded items removed from the work area - with a pen or pencil locate and strike out the numbers 1 through 50 in sequential order (1, 2, 3, 4, 5…)
You will have 30 seconds to complete this task

15. 2 8 23 3 7 13 36 17 19 14 12 34 11 32 15 21 24 28 22 25 43 41 31 35 26 38

16. Report Out – Round 2
Record your highest number found and a comment on your Overall Scorecard sheet
The lowest score is what’s recorded for the entire group
What was the exercise like this time?
What can we learn from this?

17. Simplify
Now that the area has been cleared out of unnecessary items, it is time to find a “home” for items that will remain
Guideline: Any item that you want to keep after the 5S Orange Tagging Event needs to have a specific home
“A place for everything and everything in its place.”
Organize items to make them convenient to get and put away
Use visual controls to help this process (signs, lines, labels, color-coding)

18. 2 8 23 3 7 13 36
Let’s rearrange the numbers in order that we will use them. 17 19 14 12 34 11 32 15 24 28 21 22 25 43 41 31 35 26 38 47 50 29 45 49 5 9 30 18 37 33 44 40 6 10 39 48 46 16 1 20 4 27 42

19. 2 8 23 3 7 13 36 17 19 14 12 34 11 32 15 21 24 28 22 25 43 41 31 35 26 38 47 50 29 45 49 5 9 30 18 37 33 44 40 6 10 39 48 46 16 1 20 4 27 42

21. 2 5 4 8 9 10 3 6 1 7
Did you notice that we had to work around a few things like the numbers that were already there? 19 11 13 16 18 15 20 12 14 17 26 23 27 28 21 22 29 31 24 25 30 32 33 35 37 36 34 44 38 40 43 41 45 39 42 48 46 47 49 50

22. Instructions – Round 3
Let’s do the same exercise with the numbers better organized - with a pen or pencil locate and strike out the numbers 1 through 50 in sequential order (1, 2, 3, 4, 5…)
You will have 30 seconds to complete this task

23. 2 5 4 8 9 10 3 6 1 7 19 11 13 16 18 15 20 12 14 17 26
GO! 23 27 28 21 22 29 31 24 25 30 32 33 35 37 36 34 44 38 40 43 41 45 39 42 48 46 47 49 50

24. Report Out – Round 3
Record your highest number found and a comment on your Overall Scorecard sheet
The lowest score is what’s recorded for the entire group
What was the exercise like this time?
What benefits can you see from “Sort” and “Simplify”?
Record on Scorecard sheet

25. Systematic Cleaning
Now that the area has been cleared out of unnecessary items, it is time to “shine” the items that remain
Guideline: Get items to a “like-new” condition
“Clean and inspect or inspect through cleaning”
Everyone participates, make it simple and easy to get cleaning supplies and schedule it!
If you find something out that may become an issue, fix it or have it fixed

26. 2 5 4 8 9 10 3 6 1 7
For Shine we will make sure the numbers are in good working order. So let’s clean this mess up! 19 11 13 16 18 15 20 12 14 17 26 23 27 28 21 22 29 31 24 25 30 32 33 35 37 36 34 44 38 40 43 41 45 39 42 48 46 47 49 50

27. 4 5 8 2 3 10 1 6 7 9 11 13 18 16 12 15 17 19 20 14 26 23 27 30 21 22 24 28 29 25 31 33 34 32 35 36 37 39 40 38 41 43 44 47 48 50 42 45 46 49

28. Standardize
We need to have standards for the first three S’s: Sort, Simplify and Systematic Cleaning
Guideline: Make up the rules for the first three S’s and then follow and enforce them.
“Make up the rules and then follow them”
Don’t forget to consider companywide policies like color-coding, signage, replenishment, etc
Make the rules easy to follow

29. 4 5 8 2 3 10 1 6 7 9
After looking at all the styles of font and sizes the team determined that some of these items can be standardized. 11 13 18 16 12 15 17 19 20 14 26 23 22 27 30 21 24 28 29 25 31 33 34 32 35 36 37 39 40 38 41 44 47 48 50 43 42 45 46 49

30. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50

31. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Let’s add some more visuals like color-coding and lines. 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50

32. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50

33. Sustain
Now that you have a well organized, clean and safe work environment, we must keep it that way
Guideline: It’s not something extra, it’s part of everyday work
“Make 5S part of everyday life.”
Sustain helps build the discipline we need to have a great Lean organization

34. Instructions – Round 4
In order to Sustain our gains we must be able to recognize abnormal conditions
Let’s do a quick 5S Audit of the area
Circle any “defects” that you find
You will have 30 seconds to complete this task

35. 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 16 12 11 13 14 15 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 34 25 26 27 28 29 30
GO! 31 32 33 24 35 36 37 38 40 46 41 42 43 44 45 47 48 49 50

36. Report Out – Round 4 How many did you find? The “2” is missing
“9” is upside down
11 and 12 are mixed up
“16” is not completely in it’s home
24 and 34 are in the wrong location
“39” is missing
46 is askew
How did you know?

37. 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 16 12 11 13 14 15 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 34 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 24 35 36 37 38 40 46 41 42 43 44 45 47 48 49 50

38. Instructions – Round 5
Let’s do the same exercise after applying our 5S principles - with a pen or pencil strike out the numbers 1 through 50 in sequential order (1, 2, 3, 4, 5…)
You will have 30 seconds to complete this task

39. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
