5S are the five pillers supporting a system for improvement in the company.
The purpose of 5S activities is to improve the organisation cleanliness & orderliness to world class level for achieving excellence in operation management.

Sorting out ( Seiri) : Segregate between wanted & unwanted things. Then remove the unwanted things from the shopfloor.

Systematic arrangement ( Seiton) : To make place for everything & everything in its place. Anything should be found within 30 sec.

Shine ( Seiso) : Everything should be clean in the Shopfloor. No any dust & dirt found on anything.

Standardization ( Seiketsu) : It is a method to maintain above three activities. Make rules, work instructions,SOP & check sheets to follow above activities.

Self Descipline ( Shitsuke) : It means to make a habit to continuously maintain all activities as per standard, procedures etc.

The first four pillars can be implemented without difficulty if the workplace is one where the employees commit to sustain 5S conditions. Such a workplace is likely to enjoy high productivity and high quality.
