The 5S methodology, a modern enterprise management model, consists of five Japanese terms: Seiri (Sort), Seiton (Set in order), Seiso (Shine), Seiketsu (Standardize), and Shitsuke (Sustain). Also known as the "Five Principles of Workplace Organization," this approach originated in Japan.

Developed in 1955 with initial focus on workplace safety and space optimization, the 5S system evolved into a comprehensive management philosophy by 1986. Championed by companies like Toyota, it has proven effective in:

  • Corporate image building
  • Cost reduction
  • On-time delivery
  • Workplace safety
  • Standardization
  • Creating pleasant work environments
