"5S" is a process tool which is used for organizing the work place for good housekeeping.
"5S"was invented in Japan. This stands for five (5) Japanese words that start with the letter 'S': Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke.
These are translated in english to fit best to the japanese meaning into a set of five 'S' words as : Sort, Set (in place), Shine, Standardize, and Sustain.
Seiri (Sort ) - Means Tidiness - throw away all rubbish and unrelated materials in the workplace
Seiton (Set) - Means Orderliness - Set everything in proper place for quick retrieval and storage
Seiso (Shine) - Means Cleanliness - Clean the workplace. Concept of as if everyone is a janitor
Seiketsu (Standardize) - Means Standardization - Standardize the processes in such a way of maintaining cleanliness
Shitsuke (Sustain) - Means Discipline - Practice 'Five S' daily - make it a way of life; this also means 'commitment'
Therefore, the key targets of 5S are workplace morale and efficiency. The mantra of 5S is that by assigning everything a location, time is not wasted by looking for things.
5S concept demands for deciding what should be kept, where it should be kept, and how it should be stored.
the benifits are enormous it is used with small group activities like quality circle, kaizen, etc

Hi Trupti,
there is creativity in the presentation. take my comments in a true spirit.
1. the flow of contents - you starts with Kaizen and link to 5 S is good. by linking Deming circle in the middle of presentation was misleading from the topic. flow is distracting. you could have started with PDCA cycle, linking to TQM or continual improvement, take examples of kaizen, 5s, etc as a tool to accomplish small group activities or improvement process, and then go on 5 S principles.
2. animations / pictures - again a creativity in developing deming cycle with PDCA and SDCA. as per as my knowledge is concerned, PDCA is also refered as PDSA, i.e instead of check some use the word study. these are not two different types. it is the same and known as deming circle. same is being repeated in the next slide as graph with alternate circles. did you mean here, use PDCA for improvement and SDCA for sustainance.
3. examples to describe the concept - it is a fact, that many of us loose the grip on the topic by trying to make the audience impressed with pictures / examples. you could have used simple exapmles, which are related to the workplace. the best examples can come from our homes, which are very easy to understand. for seiri, you give example of respiratoty system, which is a process waste. you can sort out (organize). same way for seiton, the picture does not suit to your earlier explanation for easy to see, easy to pick, etc.
