5S in Translation |

5S is one of the foundation concepts of lean. The Japanese originals were: Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shetsuke. (Additional S's such as Safety or Security are sometimes added.) I did a quick survey on-line to see what variations are out there.
And the non-alliterative translations:
And the related 5C's (from Wikipedia):
And of course, there are Anti-5S acronyms as well:
We know it really doesn't matter what phrase we use, as long as we actually follow the 5S principles! Do you use a different translation for 5S? It would be interesting to see other variants! [Note: The preferred spelling of Shetsuke has an "i" as its third letter, but the editing software substituted @#$% for the first syllable when I spelled it that way!] |

Translation has become a very good business in some European countries as in some countries they are unable to understand English I have seen many countries who are unable to speak properly.as the latest example is in Euro cup 2008 where many Players, Captains and Coach are not in a position to give press conference in English for them it is very vital to use some online translation online translation site. I am sure that these sites are going to be fruitful for them. |
