The Five S's (or 5S) is a basic, fundamental, systematic approach for productivity, quality and safety improvement in all types of business.
Sort - the first step in making things cleaned up and organized
Set In Order - organize, identify and arrange everything in a work area
Shine - regular cleaning and maintenance
Standardize - make it easy to maintain - simplify and standardize
Sustain -maintaining what has been accomplished
More than the Office or Home, it is more applied on how we keep\maintain items in our Mindset.
Five S's is part of Kaizen (Kai – change , zen – good :: continous improvement ) and Kadan ( Kan – visual, ban – card :: visual aid that triggers action) concepts.
