5S is a basic lifestyle act

5S is a basic lifestyle act. Let us consider a daily task of making coffee, whether this is at home or at our work places. The requirements will be the cup, spoon, hot water, coffee, sugar or sweetener and milk or creamer. There are few scenarios that surround this process. While making coffee, Is there tea and the different types of tea with the coffee ingredients. Do you have to check which container has what ingredient or can you simply just open and the right container is available? Do you have preferences over white sugar or brown sugar, or the sweetener? Can you reach the one you need immediately? Oh No! What happens if the Cup is not clean? If not then it will need to be washed or rinsed. This is now an added task, maybe you are the type where hot tap water will not suffice, then you may have to find dishwashing liquid or soap. If you were the only person making the coffee you could have 5S’ed everything in order of what you need and when. Or it could be your version of 5S is to simply buy a cup of coffee.
