The research, conducted on a microtextile manufacturing workshop allowed the approach of university life with the reality of micro enterprises in the Northern Cone of Lima. First diagnosis microenterprise is made, both in terms of production process and commercial. A workshop was found whose operations are conducted in a relatively small space, without corresponding data sheets. The implementation of 5S had the active participation of the owner and staff of the micro enterprise, the same that had the most runtime in the first three S (select, seiri, organize, seiton; and clean, seiso).
