Conclusion
5S is the five keys to establish a total quality
environment that emphasizes organised,
neat, clean and safe workplace. This requires
total participations of all members including
management of the organisation. Teamwork is
required to execute a systematic 5S movement,
so that a positive change in the discipline, habits
and behaviour of members can be cultivated.
Therefore the final essence of 5S is not only
creating a conducive workplace but more
importantly it is the development of a quality and
knowledgeable work force who are dedicated to
effective and productive jobs. This is essential
to drive the manufacturing and high technology
based industries as well as service sectors.
