And that's why I love 5S. It wasn't designed for the project environment, but Project Managers can gain a lot from it.

The 5S idea comes from Japanese motor manufacturing and is now pervasive throughout industry. And it’s an idea we can apply to our Project Management with great advantage.

5S is an approach to creating and maintaining an efficient workspace. It originated with the work of Hiroyuki Hirano, and was rapidly adopted into the Toyota Production System. 5S is now an essential part of Lean Manufacturing and Just in Time processes. And, of course, the principles of Lean have already found their way into Project Management.

What is 5S?
5S offers five steps for organizing your workspace so you can work efficiently, effectively, and safely. This system takes its name from five Japanese words that start with the ‘s’ sound – and which can, fortuitously, be translated into English words that also start with an s.

The anglicized Japanese and their English language equivalents:
1. Seiri - Sort (I prefer Select)
2. Seiton – Systematize (or Set in order)
3. Seiso – Shine (or Sweep)
4. Seiketsu - Standardize
5. Shitsuke - Sustain

Seiri – Select
Get rid of stuff you don’t need around you. Move the things you do need into close proximity. It’s also about getting rid of broken processes by either fixing them or replacing them with fully functional versions.

Seiton – Systematize
Do you know exactly where things are? Does every process run smoothly and is it convenient to use?

Seiso – Shine
Is everything clean and tidy at the end of a working day or project? The default state should be everything back to where it should be and in its starting state, when you finish a process – ready for next time.

Seiketsu – Standardize
In manufacturing, the same job needs the same equipment. For us, standard tools, templates, and checklists lead to efficiency and avoidance of mistakes.

Shitsuke – Sustain
Here’s where it gets tough. A new project can set up the first 4S. But sustaining it needs discipline. Part of the role of the PMO is to embed 5S and constantly review and improve project processes to keep them optimized for emerging situations.\n
