ABSTRACT
It has been well-recognised that Japanese construction firms are good in safety, hygiene, quality,
productivity and image. Over the last century, the Japanese have formalised the technique and name it as
‘5S’ Practice. Through his research in Japan in 1988, the author has re-define the name as ‘5-S’ and
developed the world’s first 5-S Audit Checklist. Since 1993, he used an innovative 5-S Checklist
developed at SIRIM for training and consultancy in no less than 20 countries with over 100,000 persons
from around 8,000 organisations world-wide. The objective of this paper is to explain the intricacy of the
5-S so that it can be understood easily and adopted readily by those who may find the tool useful. Some
experience will also be shared in this article. It is hoped that this article can arouse the interest of the
construction industry in Malaysia to take up this important and effective tool for quality improvement.
Keywords: 5-S Practice, Quality, Productivity, Construction Project, Innovative Management,
