The 5S system is a lean manufacturing tool focused on improving workplace efficiency and eliminating waste through visual order, organization, cleanliness, and standardization. Originating from the Toyota Production System, it was developed by key figures like Sakichi Toyoda and Taiichi Ohno, drawing insights from both Ford's assembly lines and the Piggly Wiggly inventory model. The methodology has gained global popularity, particularly after the publication of influential texts that detail its implementation and benefits.

The 5S system is a lean manufacturing tool that improves workplace efficiency and
eliminates waste. The 5S Methodology has exploded in other areas of quality
improvement including total productive maintenance, the visual workplace, the Just-In-
Time (JIT) process, and Lean manufacturing.
The core principles of 5S involve creating and maintaining
Visual order
Organization
Cleanliness
Standardization

3. The Origins of 5SThe Origins of 5S
THE TOYOTA PRODUCTION SYSTEM
It was Sakichi Toyoda and son Kiichiro as well as Toyota
engineer Taiichi Ohno who developed the 5S methodology or
what they called the Total Production System of TPS after
World War II.
The three Toyota representatives looked at both Ford Motor Company’s assembly lines and the
inventory process at the supermarket chain Piggly Wiggly. Through analysis at Ford, they did notice
waste along with workers who had to wait for one step to be completed which resulted in layoffs and
rehiring. At Piggly Wiggly supermarkets, their inventory system of ordering only what was needed
based on demand helped them understand and implement the Just-In-Time or JIT process into the 5S
methodology.

4. TOYOTA’S SYSTEM COMES TO BE CALLED “LEAN PRODUCTION”
 Toyota’s production methods were culturally bound and were not
transferrable to other countries
The ultimate tipping point in favor of widespread adoption of Toyota’s system
arrived with a book called The Machine that Changed the World.
5S BECOMES A POPULAR LEAN TOOL
Companies around the world wanted to know exactly what Toyota was doing
that gave it a leg up on its competitors.
The 5S’s: Five Keys to a Total Quality Environment, published by Takashi
Osada in 1991 and Hiroyuki Hirano’s 5S method titled 5 Pillars of the Visual
Workplace: The Sourcebook for 5S Implementation.
