5S is a Japanese concept of creating & maintaining an orderly workplace. It not only creates a workplace that looks good, but it creates a place that performs good.
It helps an organization in achieving efficiency in its operations, providing safety to its people and achieving quality of its products and services. It does so by creating a clutter free, neatly organized and clean workplace that is maintained using techniques of visual management as well as regular practices of habit formation by its people.
This document consisting of power point slides provides an introduction to this concept of 5s.
