2. Introduction to 5S
5S is the name of a workplace
organization method that uses a list
of five Japanese words: seiri,
seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and
shitsuke. Transliterated or
translated into English, they all
start with the letter "S". The list
describes how to organize a work
space for efficiency and
effectiveness by identifying and
storing the items used, maintaining
the area and items, and sustaining
the new order. The decision-
making process usually comes
from a dialogue about
standardization, which builds
understanding among employees
of how they should do the work.
