The development of the Integrated Professional Work is being carried out in a microenterprise of the manufacturing sector called BRADO TAPICERIA located in the city of Facatativá Cundinamarca. Its main economic activity is focused on automotive upholstery, covering painting and welding services of vehicle structures. This business started in 2019 starting from the owner's activity in buying and selling cars and found in it a business opportunity. They started their activity with the upholstery of a vehicle and by the year 2022, three years later, you can find in their offer products such as upholstery of home furniture, chairs, vehicle floors, wallets, steering wheel, gearshift bar, tapi linings and paint maintenance. This paper will discuss the 5S methodology to be applied in the business in order to improve manufacturing processes, quality of products and services, as well as interpersonal relationships, communication and generate a more productive work environment. Different opportunities for improvement were identified in different areas, both in the production and manufacturing part and in the organizational environment. Regarding production, it is evident that there is disorder in the storage of materials, causing difficulty in moving around in the common areas of the workshop, this can cause accidents during the performance of tasks. On the other hand, it was found that the work environment is affected since the collaborators do not have an adequate work space, that is; The workshop has enough space for each one to have an ideal work area, however, being poorly distributed and in disorder, it is not possible to have said area for each one, it is also necessary to provide them with suitable work implements for the realization of the same as they are: chairs, good lighting, ventilation and other necessary elements. The 5S methodology is carried out through 5 stages which applied to this project are: - Seiri: which refers to the classification of materials that are usable from those that are not usable in the upholstery. - Seiton: refers to the organization of the work area. - Seiso: refers to keeping the work area clean. - Seiketsu: seeks to normalize these customs until they become daily habits. - Shitsuke: refers to the training that should be given to the personnel.
