Improvement of implementation of the 5S method using the simplified FMEA method

Paper presents a proposal for improvement of implementation concerning one of Lean Manufacturing (LM) tools, in particular 5S method. For that purpose there was applied Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) in simplified form. A test analysis concerning implementation of the 5S method in one of Subcarpathian companies was performed by a team consisting of workers involved in that implementation of and external experts. Results of that analysis showed that the biggest difficulties playing role in implementation of the FMEA are the ones associated with laziness of workers and shortage of understanding advisability of 5S implementation. Obtained results are aimed at improving implementation of the 5S method in the company. They might be, however, also helpful in implementation of that method in other enterprises.
