Abstract:
Work culture is closely related to the norms, beliefs, values, and attitudes formed in a company. One of the important work cultures owned by the company is the 5S culture or housekeeping whose application needs to be done as a form of self-protection of workers to stay safe in carrying out work activities so as to increase company productivity. PT X is one of the companies in Sidoarjo engaged in animal feed. The purpose of this study is to analyze in depth the implementation of the 5S work culture (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke) in the Engineering Section of PT X, Sidoarjo. This research is a qualitative study with a descriptive approach, namely by providing a description of the actual conditions related to the implementation of 5S in the company. Data collection techniques are carried out by means of observation, interviews, and documentation studies. Based on the results of the study, the 5S work culture at PT X Engineering Section is still not optimally implemented. This is evident from the condition of the workplace that has not been well maintained, many unused items are in the workplace, and there are storage cabinets that are not labeled with information. The lack of awareness of workers regarding 3S habituation and the lack of supervision from management are inhibiting factors in implementing 5S optimally.
