results for the organizations. 5S approach can easily be applied in various organizations due to its
simplicity and easy recognition. 5S a universal tool which provides huge benefits with no losses
by holding improvement initiatives. This practice can be implemented mostly in every sector or
organization like banking, industries, construction, mining and Defense. It is an essential tool to
compete the organization at global level. The successful implementations of 5S technique in any
organization needs participation of top to bottom management and training. It is important to
have participation of every employee of the organization for its successful implementation.
5S has proven to be a tool contributing to the sustained growth of organizations and
maintain its development in the long term. It is evident that it is not just a pure cleanup or
housekeeping process. It brings overall improvements in employee involvement, organizational
communication, team work, production, quality, work flow, safety, maintenance, customer
complaints, in-process rejections, delivery compliance, absenteeism, inventory management and
work environment thereby enhancing the competitiveness of the organization. 5S technique is an
essential technique and act as back bone of any organization trying to achieve the certification of
ISO standards, TQM, TPS and TPM. It has also been observed that 5S principle acts as base
foundation and can successfully integrate with other quality tools such as TPM, Kanban system,
Quality Circles, Kaizan, and Lean.
5S approach is a continuous journey and should not be treated as a short term program, as
it requires standardization and consistent policies for ensuring long term implementation plans
for realization of organizational objectives (Bateman, 2005). Finally, the organizations need to
work out appropriate mechanism for evaluating the progress of 5S implementation amongst
various teams, departments, companies, etc. groups for realization of overall organizational goals
of sustainability and success over considerable period of time.
