5-S

I wonder if my previous company already fully implemented the 5-S program (Sort, Straighten, Sweep, Standardize, and Sustain). Before I resigned they were already starting this program but were still having a hard time fully implementing it especially for the Marketing Department since almost all their desks and work space were full of product samples and other materials.

I don’t know if they have consistently observed the limited things you can only put on top of office desks. I can remember seeing desks with lots of picture frames, figurines, and even stuff toys. It is questioned if these things are really appropriate in an office setting. I think they’ve already come up with a list of which are allowed.
