5Ss Based Planning at the Bintang Anugrah Toy Store Semarang

Abstract

The 5Ss (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke) work attitude is one of the attitudes in work activities applied in almost all work environments. This work attitude was first discovered and implemented in Japan to build good, effective, efficient, discipline, responsible, and comfortable work environment system for carrying out the activities. This research aims to implement 5Ss at the Bintang Anugrah Toy Store in Semarang. This research used a qualitative descriptive method with observation, interviews, and documentation applied for the data collection methods. The results show that Seiri sorted toys that are still appropriate and inappropriate for sale, Seiton organized toys and store items for being easily found, Seiso cleaned dust, dirts, and unwanted things in each room in the store, Seiketsu strengthened the activities of Seiri, Seiton and Seiso using visual and color management, and Shitsuke familiarized 5Ss activities without coercion but personal awareness in creating a suitable, clean, neat, and comfortable environment. By implementing this 5Ss plan directly and gradually, the owner of the Bintang Anugrah Toy Store can possibly minimize losses it experienced in the toys stock.
