    About this ebook

    The word "5S" stands for five related concepts with a S sound that describe workplace procedures that promote visual control and lean manufacturing. These are the five words in Japanese:
    Seiri: Sort tools, components, and documents into needed and unnecessary categories, then throw away the unnecessary.
    Seiton: Organize what is left in a tidy manner, making sure that everything has a home.
    Seiso: Wash and clean.
    Seiketsu: Regular use of the first three Ss results in cleanliness.
    Shitsuke: Practice the first four Ss with discipline.

    The English translation of the Five Ss is frequently Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. A sixth S is sometimes added by lean practitioners. Establish and follow safety protocols in the office and workplace. However, Toyota has only ever used the Four Ss:
    Shitsuke (sustain), the final S, is eliminated since Toyota's system of daily, weekly, and monthly audits to verify standardised work renders it unnecessary. The important thing to keep in mind is that the effort is methodical and organic to lean manufacturing, not a "bolt-on" stand-alone programme, whether four, five, or six Ss are used, the most important thing to keep in mind is that this effort is not a "bolt-on" stand-alone programme, but rather is methodical and organic to lean production.

    5S is not just about a clean and shiny workplace. Its a strategy for removing wastes and improving productivity. This is how Toyota utilize the tool to improve workplace productivity. This book provide a comprehensive guide about the tool. How to plan, execute and sustain. This book is a practical guide with many examples, photos and presentations.

    I created this book with the help of more than fifteen different business resources. These academic articles and books are all cited at the end of this book. A number of people have influenced my learning journey and my entire career. I would like to acknowledge them here.

    Jeffrey Liker: Professor at the University of Michigan and author of The Toyota Way and the amazing Toyota series of books. His impressive work on Toyota inspired and influenced my learning about the Toyota Production System. I would really like to thank him for his indirect involvement in this work. Many examples included in my writings are originally from his books. Although I have never met Jeff face to face, we have had great communications over social media platforms.

    Chris Duklet: A lean manufacturing leader from the United States who works in the field of health care. He has contributed to this work by reviewing the book prior to publication and giving me useful recommendations and advice.
