    1S Sort - Philosophy 
    The sort is the first of the five foundations of the 5S program. During this phase of the program, the 5S team will visit the selected or designated area and remove everything not required for everyday operations. The more jumble the team removes, the smoother the subsequent process (2S - Set in Order) will be. Additionally, it makes the area easier to manage and safer to work in. 

    The 5S tool most commonly utilized during the Sort process is a 5S Red Tag. This tag is utilized as a means to record the status of an article that may or may not is required in a specific area. The tagged items are then shifted to a Red Tag Area often labelled with a Red Tag Area Sign. 

     
    Example of a 5S red tag and red tag area sign are shown in the coming pages.
