Shop Contact Sort deals with the contents of a workplace, and removes all items that are not needed there. Set in Order refers to "a place for everything, and everything in its place" to enable easy acces to needed items. Shine refers not just to cleaning, but to "being proud" about the way the workplace is organised. Standardise refers to having standards that everyone has to adhere to. Visual management is an important aspect to facilitate easy undersanding of these standards. Sustain refers to training of all employees and communication to all employees to ensure 5S application.
