5S comes from Japanese letters
that translated in English stand for: Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize
and Sustain.
This involves sorting out to determine what needs to be kept, what needs to be moved and
what can be disposed of.
Simply put, everything that is kept has a place and must be put there.
Set a benchmark for cleaning. Clean your workplace thoroughly including
every nook.
Set standards for the workplace to ensure that the earlier steps are adhered to strictly.
Use “plan-do-check-act cycle” for sustenance of continuous improvement.
5S solutions help sort out workplace procedures and effective organization.
