Question
The 5S methodology, which stands for Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain, is a tool designed to create higher-functioning workplaces. It helps in standardizing and sustaining workflows by organizing the workspace in a logical manner, making it easier for employees to maintain an orderly workspace. This reduces time wasted on searching for items or information, leading to more efficient workflows. The methodology also emphasizes the importance of regular audits to ensure that the standards are being maintained, thereby sustaining the improved workflows over time.

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)
