Greendot Management Solutions is a 5S consultant that implements 5S on the shop floor of manufacturing plants. Since 1999, 1,200+ companies have trusted us, including Atul Ltd, Linde, Pidilite and Castrol. Our consultants work alongside your operators, not from a conference room. We set measurable targets before we start, track them every week, and stay until 5S sustains.
Most 5S drives fade within three months. Ours are built to last, with area ownership, weekly audits and scoring that your team keeps running after we leave.
Preferred by India’s most demanding manufacturers: Atul Ltd · Linde · Pidilite · Castrol · Heranba · Willowood · Coptec · RBD Engineers and 1,200+ more.
Our 5S consulting services turn a cluttered, hard-to-manage shop floor into a visual workplace that your team runs on its own. The results are measured, not promised.
Most companies have tried 5S once. Within weeks the red-tag area fills up again and the floor markings fade. In our experience across 1,200+ companies, 5S fails for five reasons, and none of them is the workers.
5S is treated as a one-time cleaning drive, not a system. A big clean-up before a customer visit is not 5S. Without the full system of sorting, fixed places, standards and audits, the plant slides back as soon as the visit is over.
Every step of our method is built to fix these five reasons. If 5S has already slipped in your plant, read how to sustain 5S.
If three or more of these sound familiar, a 5S consultant will save you months of trial and error. Not sure where you stand? Take the free 5S self-assessment.
We measure every 5S project before and after, and we stay until the result holds. Here is what 5S delivered in five client plants.
In this agrochemical plant, 5S recovered ₹43 lakh of value from material that was lying idle.
Read the Heranba 5S case study →5S with safety and space planning gave 70% fewer accidents, 25% higher productivity and ₹30 lakh saved.
See how RBD Engineers did it →A chemical plant in Dahej made 5S work around hazardous material and strict safety rules.
Read the Willowood 5S case study →Our 5S implementation services follow seven steps. The first two set up ownership and targets. The next five are the 5S steps themselves, done on your shop floor with your people. For the full method, see our guide on how to implement 5S step by step.
| Step | What we do on your shop floor | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Baseline 5S audit | Score every area with our 5S audit checklist and photograph the starting point | Baseline score and before photos |
| 2. Leadership alignment | Agree targets, zones and area owners with management | Written targets and a zone map |
| 3. Sort (Seiri) | Red-tag campaign: remove what is not needed | Freed space and a red-tag register |
| 4. Set in Order (Seiton) | Shadow boards, floor marking, labels and colour codes | A place for everything, visible at a glance |
| 5. Shine (Seiso) | Cleaning as inspection: find leaks, loose parts and sources of dirt | Clean machines and an abnormality list |
| 6. Standardize (Seiketsu) | One-page standards and photos of the correct condition for each area | Visual standards anyone can follow |
| 7. Sustain (Shitsuke) | Weekly audits by area owners, scoring and leadership review | A 5S score that stays up after we leave |
Step 7 is where most 5S consultants stop and where we spend the most time. Your team owns the system before we leave.
Every industry has a different 5S problem, so we adapt the method to your plant.
We are a 5S consultant in India with offices in Valsad, Surat and Vadodara. Our consultants work on site in the main industrial belts of Gujarat and Maharashtra:
We also take 5S projects in other states and abroad for mid and large-size companies.
The cost of a 5S consultant depends on plant size, the number of areas and shifts, and how much support your team needs. We give a fixed quote after a free 5S Gap Check of your plant.
A plant-wide 5S project usually runs for 12–24 months, depending on plant size and the number of areas. At Coptec, the shop floor changed completely in 6–7 months, and a lasting 5S culture was in place in 12–18 months. A pilot area shows visible results in the first few weeks.
Answer a few questions about your shop floor and get your 5S score in five minutes. It shows which of the five S needs work first.
The same step-by-step method our consultants use, with ready-to-use templates and checklists you can start with this week.
