ABOUT 5S
The ‘5S concept’ is a workplace organizational method that uses a list of five Japanese words: ‘seiri’ to Sort, ‘seiton’ to Set In Order, ‘seiso’ to Shine, ‘seiketsu’ to Standardize’, and ‘shitsuke’ to Sustain. The list enunciates organized approaches towards setting up an effective workspace. It employs methods such as identifying storing space for the usable office tools and an exclusive area to dispose the unusable office items. It also maintains order in the work zone, cleaning up the workshop space and the sustenance of the efficient work zone to save a time and hence a more productive work.
