Mechanics and/or Machinists Chests
For almost 100 years, American Journeymen and apprentices have made Kennedy the machinist’s tool box of choice. Handed down
from father to son, four generations of American craftsmen know Kennedy quality and durability. We’re ready to provide the
next generation with their first professional tool box.

Lean Manufacturing
5S / Tool Control
The process known as Lean Manufacturing has become a common method of reducing costs by focusing on reducing waste. Lean Manufacturing
identifies waste as anything that does not add value to the customer. Whether a product attribute or a manufacturing activity, lean strives
to eliminate anything the customer is not willing to pay for.
The foundation of lean is a process commonly known as 5S. 5S focuses on workplace organization to eliminate as many non-value added
activities as possible. If the workplace only has the required tools and materials, and is organized in such a way that those materials
can easily accessed, many non-value added activities can be stripped out of the process. All five of these steps can be defined by an
English word that begins with the letter S.
-
Sort
Focuses on eliminating all unnecessary items from the workplace. By eliminating unnecessary items, the work cell can be focused
completely on the task required. Often this step of the process is completed by removing everything from the work cell and only
returning the items required for the task.
-
Straighten
Once the work cell contains only the necessary items, organizing them so they can be easily identified and used efficiently takes
out other unnecessary activities. If this step is done effectively, it is easier for the team in the work cell to do the task
efficiently than it is to do it inefficiently.
-
Shine
The principle of the third step is that a clean and attractive work cell adds to the attitude of efficiency and professionalism.
In this step, the work cell often employs new or refurbished equipment to improve the appearance of the cell.
-
Standardize
The step of 5S to be implemented after the first three steps have been accomplished several times. In this step, the work cells
adopt the best practices of all the work cells. This step requires a sharing of information across the facility or the corporation
to be successful. The more the work cells can adopt the standardized best practices, the easier it is to switch resources from one
work cell to the other to meet demand.
-
Sustain
The last step and often the most difficult to accomplish. This step requires discipline to maintain the best practice and not
revert to the old ways of performing tasks in a work cell. Success or failure in this step signals the work cell’s ability to
continually improve. While 5S is the foundation for manufacturing improvement, one of the common misconceptions of 5S is that
it is a linear process and that the work cell goes from step 1 to 5. the most effective manufacturing organizations us 5S as a
continual process, because each time through the process identifies more non-value added activities that can be eliminated.
