Understanding 5S Training

5S is the name of a workplace organisational method derived from the five Japanese words: seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and shitsuke. These can be translated to the English 'sort', 'set in order','shine', 'standardize', and 'sustain'. 5S was developed in Japan and has since been identified as one of the biggest contributing factors to the conception of 'just in time' manufacturing.

5S training and techniques are now practiced all across the world but most significantly within the manufacturing industry. Since conception it has seen rapid growth within a wide variety of industries including health care, education and government.
