SME X is one of the micro, small, and medium enterprises in Padang, West Sumatra, engaged in the manufacture of handmade shoes. SME X has four work stations for the production process. There were found problems related to defects in shoe products with an average of 12% per month. After identifying the causes using fishbone diagrams, problems were found related to the categories of Man, Methods, Machine, and Material, which could be solved by implementing the 5S ( Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu , and Shitsuke ) concept and PCDA (Plan, Do, Check, Action) methods. After implementing the 5S and PDCA for one month, there was a decrease in defective products from 12% to 0% per month. Costs incurred during the implementation of the 5S and PDCA concept are Rp. 708,000, which is classified as economical because it is only done once during the implementation process and reduces losses due to defective shoe products, which were previously Rp. 1,250,000 per week to zero. It is very beneficial for the company to increase revenue and profit from sales. In terms of workers, there is an increase in productivity, and workers can work effectively, comfortable, safe, healthy, and efficient.
