5S is not a visual management tool; it is a state of mind. It is a lifestyle that when practiced faithfully can change an organization. 5S helps in reducing non-value added time consumed while moving, waiting, searching and finding tools, files, items etc. If properly embraced, it can ensure an effective, productive, safe and respectful workplace.
