Was 5s management founded by Toyota Hideyoshi?

Japanese enterprises regard 5S movement as the basis of management and implement various quality management methods. After World War II, the quality of products improved rapidly, and the status of an economic power was established. Under the advocacy of Toyota, 5S has played a great role in shaping corporate image, reducing costs, delivering on time, ensuring safe production, highly standardizing, creating a relaxed workplace and improving the site, and has gradually been recognized by management circles in various countries. With the development of world economy, 5S has become a new trend of factory management.

5S management is a basic management in the field management of enterprises (including workshops and offices). It comes from Japan and has made great contributions to the world of Japanese goods. The 5S management method emphasizes solving problems through development, rather than through a large amount of investment. 5S are five items: sorting (Seiri), correcting (Seiton), cleaning (Seiso), cleaning (Seikeetsu) and literacy (Shit- suke). Because the Romanization of Japanese is based on the improvement of reality, it pays more attention to the "S" of employees' intelligence, referred to as 5S.
