5S/6S Methodology
- 5S is a workplace organization method using five Japanese words.
- 5S involves a combination of physical changes and behavioral expectations.

5S Steps
- Sort: Remove unnecessary items.
- Set in Order (Stabilize): Organize remaining items for easy access.
- Shine: Keep the workspace clean and tidy.
- Standardize: Establish consistent procedures for maintaining the workspace.
- Sustain: Maintain the 5S standards over time, ensuring a long-term improvement in efficiency.
5S Improvement Considerations
- Layout: Proper layout is crucial.
- Signage/Labels: Effective signage and labels change worker behavior.
- Workplace Organization: A "place for everything and everything in its place" is an important part of the 5S process.
- Office/Warehouse/Van/Ambulance layout: 5S principles can be applied in diverse work environments, including office spaces, warehouses, and even vehicles.
