Industrias Guidi's 60th Anniversary

INDUSTRIAS GUIDI
This methodology articulates the organizational
efforts around five Steps.
The first “S” stands for “Seiri” (eliminate) which
implies identifying what is necessary in the
working area so as to consequently eliminate
what is not.
The second step is “Seiton” (organizing). In
this phase the organization of the elements
considered as necessary and that must be at
hand is of utter importance. Their placement
must be clearly identified so all team members
may have access to them and in case they are
misplaced may be able to return them to their
original place.
The third step is named “Seiso” (cleaning) and
it is connected to the equipment maintenance.
The task is to clean and inspect each equipment
and surrounding areas to detect defects and
proceed to its elimination. It is required for
cleaning to be part of the daily task eliminating
areas that produce soiling and to preserve the
integrity of the working elements for them to
be always in perfect conditions.
“Seiketsu” (standardize) is the 4th step,
its function is to generate a method that
systematizes the previous steps.
And finally, the last step “Shitsuke” (discipline)
seeks to transform into habit all the previous
steps.
