DEFINITION
The general concept of the 5S is that they are intended to eliminate waste.
Working in disorder is neither productive, nor safe. 5S is a simple and practical
method to instil a quality culture at the work place. It is relatively easy to
undertake, and requires minimal additional resources. The first and small
investment made in time and effort pays off in a much bigger manner when the
results are realized and maintained.

right place so that it's functionally placed for quality and safety, it can then be deemed that
the workplace is neat. While Seiri helps you to decide what items are needed, Seiton helps you
to decide the way things are to be placed.
