Keywords:
5S, Workplace Management, Bakery, Safety, Total Quality ManagementAbstract
The paper represents the implementation of 5S Workplace Management System in the Bakery Sub Zone, in one of the leading Catering Establishments, Bikanervala Food Pvt. Ltd. which is known for the manufacturing and serving of Indian traditional Sweets, Snacks and Foods. 5S is the gateway to Total Quality Management and is the most effective way of implementing grass root level improvement programmes which brings a visible change in the workplace. The aim was to standardize all the bakery processes, work simplification, hygiene, safety and reduced inventory . The need for 5S implementation came into existence due to cluttered work-stations, excessive scrap accumulation and stress which is generated due to larger search time for the retrieval of tools. Post 5S implementation, there was a feeling of pride among employees along with the higher work satisfaction.
