The study examines the integration of 6S principles—Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain, and Safety—into a traditional jute spinning facility in Bangladesh to enhance efficiency and sustainability. The paper details the step-by-step implementation process of the 6S system within the jute facility, emphasizing organizational changes, employee engagement, and safety initiatives. Results show an efficiency increase from 65.1% to 71.7% and a reduction of 100 kg or 11.80% of daily waste, minimizing non-productive time. The findings highlight the long-term benefits of 6S in fostering a culture of continuous improvement and optimizing daily operations in the jute industry.
