  7. Abstract:
  8. This project shows the flow of implementing a 5s Program into a factory. From it’s first step by studying current situation until the last step implementing and monitoring the results. Manufacturing companies have a growing, market-driven need to adopt World Class operating technologies, including lean manufacturing 5S principles. Understanding the program's importance and knowing how to get started are the most important steps. In Iranian economic environment it is always hard to convince any top management to invest on methodologies like TPM. The reason behind this is that there are very few examples of companies with successful implementation of these methodologies. Since management methodologies are new and Iranian mangers don’t have enough knowledge about them there is always a kind of resistance toward such systems. As TPM implementation is a long term process and requires a considerable amount of resources, it is vital to have full top management support and we see this as the most challenging task in Iran. Since 5S is the basis of TPM (also any other Lean activity) and implementing 5S is far less resource consuming that TPM itself , we decided to implement 5S and meanwhile try to monitor the effects and benefits of it and use it to fascinate the top manager
