5S is the name of a workplace organization method that uses a list of five (5) Japanese  words: seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and shitsuke. The 5S pillars provide a methodology for organizing, cleaning, developing, and sustaining a productive work environment. In the daily work of a company, routines that maintain organization and orderliness are essential to a smooth and efficient flow of activities.

This methodology encourages workers to improve their working conditions and helps them to learn to reduce waste, unplanned downtime, and in-process inventory.

To get the greatest success, the nature and implication of each “S” need to be understood by each employee from the top level to bottom and should be regularly practiced.
