5S is made in Japan! "5S" was originated in Japan, and stands for five (5) Japanese words that start with the letter 'S': Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke. . An equivalent set of five 'S' words in English have been adopted by many, to maintain the "5S" acronym. These are: Sort, Set (in order), Sweep or Shine, Standardize, and Sustain.
5S is a simple yet innovative Japanese concept.
5S was first implemented within Toyota. Toyota believed that untidy, cluttered work areas are unsafe and unproductive. It is also going to compromise quality.
Employees generally work better when they are happy in a clean, tidy & safe environment . When employees are happy and secured they tend to become more attentive, efficient and productive.
5S is actually the base or foundation of TPM Implementation. And many companies embark on TPM as their system for continual improvements...
Will talk more about it on next blog...
