The Impact and Benefits of 5S System

The 5S methodology was developed by Japanese researchers 30 years ago who were studying the secret to success of Japanese manufacturing companies. They found that the factories were extremely well organized and clean due to an emphasis on sorting, organizing, cleaning, standardizing, and sustaining cleanliness and order - the 5S principles. Implementing 5S addresses common workplace problems like absenteeism, high costs, demotivated employees, and mistakes by creating a conducive work environment where any issues are easily visible.
