When I was working with a Japanese firm (17 painful yet educative years) we were always forced to practice 5"S". I was not convinced initially but as time went by, I saw it gave good result, improved my attitude and working efficiency.
Let me see whether I can still remember 5S in Japanese or its translation 5C in English....
5"S" Japanese -------> 5"C" English
1) Seiri ----------------->Clear Out and Classify
2) Seiton --------------->Configure
3) Seiso ---------------->Clean and Check
4) Seiketsu ------------->Conformity
5) Shitsuke ------------->Custom and Practice
It sound so simple...... beleive me, very difficult to put in practice! It took years to really understand and get it fully implemented in our office!!!!
Last weekend, I went to HKL and saw this photo.... Really hope it will be put into practice!!! Love to see it one day!!!

I snapped this photo when I was paying a visit to my eldest sister, kaklong with one of my friends.
We were also there to celebrate kak long's 52nd birthday which was on 27th. March 2009.

My friend took all the trouble to get something for kak long. Nothing much except for a few cup cakes and books as birthday present, but hey...... it is the thought that counts!!!!!
Happy birthday kak long and thanks a million to my friend!!!!
