The 5S method is a fundamental tool that enables the efficient organization of the workplace. This method can be applied both to individual workstations and other areas of a company’s operations. The aim of this article is to improve the production system of a company specializing in the production of baby strollers and car seats by using the 5S method as a key tool. This article presents the implementation of the 5S method in a company manufacturing baby strollers, which is based on acquired experience. A survey is conducted among employees to assess their attitude toward the application of the 5S method in the company. In the studied facility, after the proper implementation of the fourth step of the 5S method, waste is identified in the form of excessive operator movements and unnecessary downtimes at the workstation. To address this issue, the “5 whys” method is applied. Tracing the root cause, which is found to relate to the way production elements are prepared in the warehouse, enables the design and creation of an innovative solution in the form of a pre-assembly rack. The implementation of the 5S method in the studied facility resulted in a high level of workplace cleanliness.
