INTRODUCTION
The industry is looking for improve the production process and improve the results for have less wastes. Several methods have been developed to improve the Processes within an industry like the 5s and SIX SIGMA methods.
The 5S method,named by the first letter of the name in Japanese means each of the five stages, is a Japanese management technique based on five simple principles.
Seiri, Seiton, Seisō, Seiketsu and Shitsuke
translates to English are: Sorting, Simplifying, Systematic Cleaning, Standardizing and Sustaining in the same order.
They are based on systematically manage the elements of a workspace according to fivephases, conceptually very simple, but it requires effort and perseverance to keep.
There is also another method to improve production processes within an enterprise is the SIX SIGMA method that seeks to improve the quality of process outputs by identifying and removing the causes of defects and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes.

OBJETIVES

* Obtain informationof methodology for process improvement and quality of production.
* Know and understand the elements of 5s to implement them
* Understand the steps and requirements that have 5s to optimize the production process.
* Learn to identify the different classifications of the Six Sigma method.
* Manage Six Sigma methodology to improve the quality of the processes with all the steps andalso have a 99.96% effective result with minimal errors.

The 5S Method of Improvement

Some companies beat the odds and foster strong, positive cultures. Danaher and Toyota are two of the better known examples.
The method of 5S is one way to engage people and contribute to culture change. 5S is a visually-oriented system of cleanliness, organization, and arrangement (Figure 1) designed tofacilitate greater productivity, safety, and quality (Figure 2). It engages all employees and is a foundation for more self-discipline on the job for better work and better products.
5S is a foundation for more disciplined actions. If workers cannot even put a tool back in its designated location, will they follow standards for production? Its visual nature makes things that are out of place stickout like a sore thumb. And, when properly supported, it builds a culture of continuous improvement. The benefits of 5S are:
• Cleaner and safer work areas—when a work area is clean and organized tripping hazards and other dangers are eliminated.
• Less wasted time through more workplace organization—when tools and materials are accessible and orderly, workers need less time to “go get” and lesstime to search.
• Less space—when unneeded items are eliminated and the needed ones are organized, required floor space is dramatically reduced.
• Improved self-discipline—the 5S system, especially its visual nature, makes abnormal conditions noticeable and makes ignoring standards more difficult.
• Improved culture—when 5S is applied systematically, it fosters better teamwork and enthusiasm.People like to work in a well-organized and clean environment. They feel better about themselves and better about their work, and they restore the self-discipline that is found in winning teams.
What are the 5S’s?
5S consists of:
• Sorting—separating the needed from the unneeded. Sorting activities aim to eliminate unneeded items from the work area and to perform an initial cleaning.
•...
