5S - What is 5S and why do we want to do it?
5S is short for:
1) Sort (Seiri)
2) Set in Order (Seiton)
3) Shine (Seiso)
4) Standardize (Seiketsu)
5) Sustain (Shitsuke)

5S represents 5 disciplines for maintaining a visual workplace (visual controls and information
systems).
These are foundational to Kaizen (continuous improvement) and a manufacturing strategy based
"Lean Manufacturing" (waste removing) concepts.
5S is one of the activities that will help to ensure our company’s improvement and survival in the
market.
