The 5S (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain) is a methodology that results in a workplace that is clean, uncluttered, safe, and well organised to help reduce waste and optimise productivity. It is designed to help build a quality work environment, both physically and mentally. The 5S philosophy applies in any work area suited for visual control and lean production. The principle is critical to employees and is the basis of customers' first impressions. The 5S system also helps to put the workplace in order by conducting a cleanup campaign and maintain the workplace in perfect condition to improve efficiency.
