Sort is an activity which make you decide and choose all item in your work place which is needed and which is not needed.
The simple reason for this is why you put a tool that actually you don't need to use.

So this the way that you must to do:
1. take the trash bin and big plastic.
2. pick one by one the tools.
3. decide that this product is needed or not.
4. if not, throw away that thing into trash bin.

6 S ( Sort, Set in Order, Shines, Standardize, Sustain, Safety )

All job for industrial engineer cannot off from 6S activity or maybe that you know as 5R or 5S. From my opinion, 6S is core for all Continous Improvement in every place because the best step to make improvement is look from around us.

What is 6S ?
6S is shortened from

1. Sort               = Seiri       = choose which is needed and not needed
2. Set in Order = Seiton    = put something in the right place
3. Shines          = Seiso      = Keep Cleanliness
4. Standardize = Seiketsu = Make Standard for all procedure
5. Sustain        = Shitsuke = Keep doing what you already done
6. Safety         =                = keep safety factor in every part

 What is the true function from this 6s?
Think about it!!!

1. Let imagine if every item in your area now is not needed
2. Let imagine if you cannot find a things that you needed
3. Let imagine if your place is very dirty and mess
4. Let imagine if other people can live in your place without knowing the rules and they do everything what they want to do or how they want to do it
5. Let imagine if someone cannot keep the good things
6. Let imagine if you live in dangerous area without any protection

This 6S activity can help you avoid those thing
