LEAN magnetic pictogram | Magnetic 5S pictogram with colored segments

The 5S magnetic pictogram with colored segments is a visual tool used for the 5S method, a workplace organization practice from lean management. The 5S method is broken down into five steps, each corresponding to a Japanese term: Seiri (Eliminate), Seiton (Tidy), Seiso (Clean), Seiketsu (Standardize), Shitsuke (Comply).

The magnetic pictogram is presented in the form of a circle divided into five segments, each segment representing one of the steps, with a distinct color for each step to facilitate visual distinction.

Each of the colored segments is linked to a step:

• Seiri (Eliminate) – Red: Eliminate unnecessary objects.
• Seiton (Tidy) – Yellow: Organize necessary objects.
• Seiso (Clean) – Orange: Clean the space regularly.
• Seiketsu (Standardize) – Blue: Standardize best practices.
• Shitsuke (Comply) – Green: Maintain discipline and continuous improvement.

The fact that this pictogram is magnetic allows it to be attached to metal surfaces (such as whiteboards or machines) for easy access during training or in a workspace.
