5S is a fundamental part of the Lean Toolbox and is used to reduce searching time and the risk of human error on both productivity and safety. 5S stands for:

• Sort - remove the items you do not need
• Set - set what remains in location
• Shine - reduce the amount of mess that arises
• Standardise - make 5S part of your daily routine
• Sustain - embed 5S into your continuous improvement process
