Analysis of housekeeping 5s (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu and Shitsuke) in laboratory

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the implementation of housekeeping in the Laboratory of the Faculty of Engineering, Brawijaya University so as to provide improvements to laboratory work areas that are used by workers and students. The method used in regulating the repair of laboratory work areas is the basic 5S concept approach (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu and Shitsuke). The main focus of this research is manufacturing laboratories that are not good at applying 5S work culture concepts. Manufacturing laboratories have a total score of 36% in the 5S checklist form, which indicates that their 5S implementation is bad. The results of the observations were analysed with fishbone diagrams to find out the causes of the problem and a SWOT analysis is done on internal/external workplace safety and health management. Recommendations for improvements include: good implementation of 5S in laboratories, work instructions that oblige to maintain occupational health and safety, and periodic supervision.
