What is 5S and how can it benefit your workplace?

5S is a method for organizing a shared workspace (like a manufacturing or factory floor), and keeping it safe and organized. The key tenets of 5S are workplace safety, efficiency and morale:
• Safety: Standardized, high-visibility signage facilitates immediate understanding.
• Efficiency: By assigning everything a location, time is not wasted by looking for things.
• Morale: The decision making process usually comes from a dialog about standardization which builds an understanding between employees of how work should be done.
