5S Standard Colors

5S is a lean manufacturing technique that involves getting organized. A powerful tool that helps things stay organized is color coding. Color coding allows us to quickly recognize which group an object belongs with. For example, tools can be color coded to show the work area where they are used.

There is no 5S standards organization, however over time a set of standard colors has developed. A free guide is now available that shows the color standards typically used with 5S. This guide is available to businesses with 20 or more employees, government agencies, the military, schools and nonprofits.
