Home

Many thousand years ago, when our ancestors shifted into the caves and sheltered there permanently. They no longer throw rubbish in the caves (Sort), a place to store food (Set), and used tree branches to clean (Shine). These activities were repeatedly practiced by the ladies as the men went out to hunt for food.

It passed down from generations and it happened at home, thus is known as housekeeping. The Japanese were wise to bring in this housekeeping management system into the factories. They added the 4^th S (Sustain) and 5^th S (Self Values) and help them to achieve Quality, Productivity, Profitability, Safety, Environmental Friendliness etc.

5S originated from the Japanese words:- Seiri (Sort), Seiton (Set), Seiso (Shine), Seiketsu (Sustain) & Shitsuke (Self Values).

It is the oldest management system and the best living skill on earth!

When we look at the 5S on a magnifying glass, all the management systems in the world practically is the activity of 5S. Corporate management, crisis management, cooking, human resource management,factory management, coaching, training is 5S.

In 2008, together with Mr. Chee Iihann (NLP trainer) applying 5S to publish a self help book titled "Living Kaizen".

Today, 5S is not only practiced to improve physical place (Yang) but it can be practiced on the personal basis (Ying). 5S can be used in communicating on an inter-personal basis as it saves time.
