Abstract
5S is a systematic technique used by organizations that comes from five Japanese words: Seiri (Sort), Seiton (Set in order), Seiso (Shine), Seiketsu (standardize), and Shitsuke (sustain) (Patel and Thakkar in J Eng Res Appl 4(3):774–779, [1]). The common problem that arises in an organization is defects in material, quality of the human resource, downtime in production, improper safety for the workers, working condition, etc. This paper deals with the implementation of 5S in a small-scale industry and to analyze the effectiveness in terms of search time, safety, productivity, cost, etc. The implementation of 5S can also result in considerable improvements in efficiency, maintenance, quality, better, more committed employees, and a stepwise reduction in unnecessary items. The 5S also intend to build a stronger work culture within management and workers and keeps them moving towards to have continual improvement.
