The concept of 5S is of Japanese origin and is now a widely used continuous improvement tool that has been successfully applied by thousands of companies worldwide. It is basically a tool and a philosophy which uses common sense and discipline to arrange workplaces in a tidy, efficient and sustainable way, to achieve improved operational efficiency. The heart of 5S is the discipline of the people involved in installing it and afterwards sustaining it. 5S is not a system but rather a way of life
