Throughout the history, organizations have been facing with various problems in their workspace and trying to continuously improve their operations by eliminating these problems in a most efficient and effective way. For that purpose, many different approaches and principles have been used to provide better management tool within a workspace to ensure the high efficiency and effectiveness. In another way, to keep pace with their competitors and maintain the customer satisfaction high, organizations have been searching for a system or methodology.
One of the most commonly used tools for organizations is 5S, a Japanese system for organizing the workspace so that each operation can be performed in an efficient, effective, and safe manner.
