The 5S program was devised in Japan in order to achieve a high degree of cleanliness and standardization on factory floors. This program gets its name from five Japanese words; Seiri (Sort), Seiton (Set), Seiso (Shine), Seiketsu (Standardize), and Shitsuke (Sustain). When implemented, this program has the ability to make the workplace safer and more efficient, thereby increasing employee morale.
