Question
The 5S methodology, which stands for Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain, can help in sorting out important items that are often missed by creating a more organized and efficient workspace. The 'Sort' step involves identifying and removing unnecessary items, thus reducing the chance of important items being overlooked. The 'Set in order' step ensures that all necessary items are organized and easy to find, further reducing the likelihood of missing important items. The remaining steps, 'Shine', 'Standardize', and 'Sustain', involve maintaining cleanliness, standardizing processes, and sustaining the new order, which all contribute to a more efficient workflow where important items are less likely to be missed.

The 5S methodology is a tool used to create higher-functioning workplaces in the same way. Designed for physical workflows over digital ones, the idea is to make a space make sense. The 5S's stand for: Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize and Sustain. As you can see, the definitions are listed under each procedure, while the checklists can be used for stakeholders to list out important items that are often missed and need to be completed. Execs can then use an audit scorecard to check off what has been done. The scores are all added up at the end with a total score out of 30. (Slide 20-21)
