Introduction

Welcome to the next level of your modular training in Computer System

Servicing (CSS) under the Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
Course. In this module, you will have a great time of understanding the principles and
concepts of Performing Computer Operations (PCO).
At the end of this module, you will be able to apply the knowledge and skills on how
to select appropriate hardware and software according to task assigned and required outcome
and apply appropriate occupational health and safety procedures. Those skills are essential
for you to pass the National Certification II in CSS.
In this module, topics will be introduced progressively for easy understanding. Read
all the information sheets with comprehension, answer and complete all the tasks given.
Reminder! Please do not write anything on this module and follow the instructions
given. Now, let us start exploring new things.

What To Know?
What is this Module About?
This module deals with the occupational health and safety policies and
procedures (5S Methodology) in performing computer operations (managing the
computer desktop and filing system).

What Will You Learn?

At the end of this module, you should be able to:
1. define 5S methodology;
2. differentiate the different 5S methodology;
3. identify the parts of windows desktop (OS-2007);
4. explain the function of each part of the windows desktop; and

3
 5. apply 5S methodology in performing computer operations.

Information Sheet 1

Directions: Read the Information Sheet 1 with comprehension and find out how much
you can remember and how much you learned by doing the tasks given.

Definition

The 5S is a system for organizing spaces so work can be performed efficiently,

effectively, and safely. This system focuses on putting everything where it belongs
and keeping the workplace clean, which makes it easier for people to do their jobs
without wasting time or risking injury.

Steps of 5S Methodology

5S Methodology Description
Seiri Eliminate whatever is not needed by separating needed tools,
(Sort) parts, and instructions from unneeded materials.
Seiton Organize whatever remains by neatly arranging and
(Set in Order) identifying parts and tools for ease of use.
Seiso Clean the work area by conducting a cleanup campaign.
(Shine)
Seiketsu Schedule regular cleaning and maintenance by
(Standardize) conducting seiri, seiton, and seiso daily.
Shitsuke Make 5S a way of life by forming the habit of always
(Sustan) following the first four S’s.

Example 1
Observe the following activities in performing 5S.

Example 2

You often see a computer desktop that looks like this. Keeping a computer
desktop this way creates problems like: a) difficulty to find files; b) files and folders
are grouped together without any logical filing system; c) don’t easily know where to
place new files (downloaded files, attachments, and temporary working documents);
and d) waste time in cleaning temporary/downloaded files when the desktop gets full.

 • If you like, you can create desktop shortcuts pointing to your favorite or most
used programs, if your computer program has this facility.

c. Put shortcuts in the start menu and taskbar

to place program shortcuts either on your taskbar or in the Start menu.
Steps:
1. Select the application/program/software
2. Right click on your mouse
3. Select “Pin to Taskbar” and/or “Pint to Start Menu” It will always
appear as an icon on your taskbar, and you can drag the icon to the left
or right to position it.

• Taskbar Bar
