This Module contains several Lessons. To get the most from this Module,
Health,
you need to do the following:
1. Begin by reading and understanding the Learning Outcome/s. These
would tell you what you should know and be able to do at the end of
this Module.
2. Find out what you already know by taking the Pre Assessment then
Safety, and
check your score. If you get 99 to 100% of the items correctly, you may
proceed to the next module. This means that you need not go through
the Lessons because you already know what it is about. If you failed to
get 99 to 100% correctly, go through the Lessons and review especially
those items which you failed to get.
Environment
3. Do the required Learning Activities. They begin with one or more
Information. The Lesson Information contains important notes or basic
information that you need to know.
After reading the Lesson Information, test yourself on how much
you learned by means of the Self-Check. Do not hesitate to go back to
the Lesson Information when you do not get all test items correctly.
Procedures
This will ensure your mastery of basic information.
4. It is not enough that you acquire content or information. You
must be able to demonstrate what you learned by doing what the
Activity directs you to do. In other words, you must be able to
apply what you have learned in real life.

5S
5S is a systematized approach to organize work areas,
keep rules, standards and maintain discipline. It stands for
seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and shitsuke. It was the Japanese
who developed 5S as part of their productivity and total quality
management concept.
There are steps involved in each of the 5S.
1. SEIRI ( SORT )
Remove unnecessary items and dispose them properly.
Make work easy by eliminating obstacles
Provide no chance to be distracted by unnecessary Figure 1 - Checking, arranging and clearing the equipment from

Prevent accumulation of unnecessary materials.
2. SEITON (SYSTEMATIZE)
Arrange necessary items in good to access them easily.
Prevent loss and waste of time.
Find easily necessary items
Ensure first come-first served basis.
Make work flow smooth and easy.

GENERALIZATION:
This module gave opportunity to the students to develop their skills
in Performing shop maintenance according to standard operating
procedures, techniques and knowledge of Driving Light Vehicle NCII.
This prepares them to move on to the next important skills for
development… Carrying out minor vehicle maintenance and
servicing.
