Quotes by Masaaki Imai (?)

“The essence of 5S is to follow what has been agreed on. It begins with discarding what we don’t need in the gemba (seiri) and then arranging all the necessary items in the gemba in an orderly manner (seiton). Then a clean environment must be sustained so that we can readily identify abnormalities (seiso), and these three steps must be maintained on a continuous basis (shitsuke).”
