5S is a workplace organization method originating from Japan that involves sorting, systematic arrangement, sweeping, standardizing, and sustaining cleanliness and order. It was developed to improve efficiency and effectiveness in manufacturing. The method involves five Japanese words translated to English starting with "S": sort, systematize, sweep, standardize, and sustain. It aims to clearly identify necessary items, store them properly, maintain a clean work area, set clear standards, and ensure best practices are followed consistently.

11. Security

Satisfaction
Additional 5S

12. Safety
A sixth phase, "Safety", is
sometimes added. There is
debate over whether including
this sixth "S" promotes safety
by stating this value explicitly,
or if a comprehensive safety
program is undermined when
it is relegated to a single item
in an efficiency-focused
business methodology.


13. Security
A seventh phase, "Security", can
also be added. To leverage
security as an investment rather
than an expense, the seventh "S"
identifies and addresses risks to
key business categories including
fixed assets, material, human
capital, brand equity, intellectual
property, information
technology, assets-in-transit and
the extended supply chain.


14. Satisfaction
An eight
phase, "Satisfaction", can
be included. Employee
Satisfaction and
engagement in
continuous improvement
activities ensures the
improvements will be
sustained and improved
upon.
