requirement of ISO9001:2000 in natural way. 5S principles adopted by the organizations help in
accruing
higher productivity, best quality in order to build Total
Quality Management and
ISO9001:2000 standards. 5S principles can be appropriately integrated with ISO9001:2000 in
order to bring the movement toward total quality management. According to Pheng (2001),
ISO9001:2000 have close resemblance to the corresponding 5S principles as discussed in Table
2:

The similarities
between
ISO9001:2000
clauses and Seiri
help to sort out
and maintain the
items which
help in achieve
demonstrating
stratification
management. It
provides the
guide lines for
the operation of
organization.
The clauses of
ISO9001:2000
which gibe with
Setion steer the
organization to
arrange the
process and
control the
document to
assure the
follow up where
it is required.
Similarities
between
ISO9001:2000
clauses and
Seiso help to
remove non
conformities and
make the final
product free of
defects.
A couple of
ISO9001:2000
clauses are
significantly
compatible with
Seiketsu
element since it
calls upon
developing and
deploying
standard
operating
procedures. It
encourages to
achieve
ISO9001:2000
certification.
Shitsuke element is
related to the
majority of
ISO9001:2000
clauses. It is clearly
apparent that the
element (shitsuke)
ensures in achieving
and maintaining
ISO9001:2000
Certification. There
is no quality
management
without this
element.
Pheng (2001) has provided the framework on which requirement of ISO9001:2000 can be
built. 5S implementation can facilitate realization of neat and
clean looks to an organization,
thereby providing good impression of well-organized area to external
auditor and helping
organization in achieving the first step of ISO9001:2000 certification. 5S
facilitates internal
auditors in the organization to spot and remove non conformities which help in achieve the ISO
standards and lead towards TQM.
